Journal Club "Rules and Regulations" |
The goal of journal club is to provide an informal venue for scientific interaction in the Department of Human Genetics. Everybody should participate. Let Dr. David Finegold be your model: ask stupid questions, float crazy ideas, don't be embarrassed
- No one reads the paper every week, but at least read the abstract, bring a copy of the paper, and have thought about it a little. Identify some questions ahead of time.
- If you think the discussion is boring or above your head, it's YOUR responsibility to change it. Ask questions. If you don't get what's so interesting or important about the paper, ask. If you don't understand the terminology being used, ask.
- If you are uninspired by the choices of topics or papers, sign up to present one that you like or talk a friend or faculty member into doing so.
- Students are advised to get advice from a faculty member when choosing a paper to present. The ideal journal club article is something that is of both scientific importance and general interest.
- Let the faculty facilitator (Candy Kammerer or Eleanor Feingold) know what your choice is the week before your presentation so that the link can be posted on the web site.
- IF YOU NEED TO CANCEL OR RESCHEDULE a presentation, it is YOUR responsibility to find a substitute.
- Please let the faculty facilitator know if you need a laptop or other media needs.
- Presentations should begin with an introduction to the general topic area and what is interesting or important about the work being presented. Try to explain key concepts and definitions. Do not assume everyone in the audience is an expert or that everyone in the audience has read the paper.
