| The students involved with the Cardiovascular
Training Grant decided to organize a journal club that
focuses on recent and principal papers that relate to cardiovascular
issues. This journal club meets approximately every other
week on Mondays, 1:00-2:00 pm in Keating Bioresearch Building, first floor conference room 107 . (A list of current dates is at
the bottom of this page. Archived presentations are located
to the right.)
For each meeting, one student selects
an article to discuss. This article is announced one week
before the meeting, at meeting the student who selected
the article leads the discussion. The general format of
the discussion is as follows:
- Brief introduction:
- Summarize the major question(s) that the authors
are asking
- Discuss the hypotheses
- State whether or not these questions were
sufficiently answered
- Give background information on the topic
- Dissect the basic structure of the experiments (Here,
it is useful to have faculty and students from different
labs who might have experience using various techniques
from the paper.)
- Go through the results and discussion (This is generally
done by stepping through each figure in the paper.)
At the discretion of the presenter, snacks may be
provided.
Below is a list of the students assigned
to current meetings: |
