The Journal Club is designed for graduate
students (both masters and PhD) to keep abreast of current topics as
well as gain practice with technical presentations. As guides,
faculty members from the department will also lead discussions, from
time to time. The Journal Club will meets each Thursday at
12:45pm in LB 329, unless there is a department colloquium.
All graduate students are strongly advised to
attend, and also to lead discussions. If you are interested in
leading a discussion, please contact a member of the Journal Club
committee for assistance in choosing a journal article to
discuss. The committee is currently Jason Aufdenberg, Bereket
Berhane, John
Hughes, and Anthony
Reynolds.
