Journal Club Presentations
This will take the place of our normal lab meetings, 12:30-1:40 every other Wednesday. Each student picks and presents a journal paper of their choice. Limits being only that it be related to their current research. Most researchers don't initially have the drive to lookup the background information on their reasearch. The point of these presentations is to show how important the background information is as well as to practice the almost inevitable event that a researcher will have to present their research to a scientific audience.
