Immunology-Microbiology Journal Club

Thursday, 12:00-1:00
LG-110 (also R2-265)


Director: Dr. L.J. Chang (lchang@mgm.ufl.edu)


Please keep in mind that the article should represent a whole new and exciting discovery – a paradigm shift in our understanding of immunity and/or microbiology – preferably a combination of the two fields – NOT an incremental addition to an ongoing story.  It should not be so focused in its scope that only a few members of the journal club will find it interesting.

*A student will be paired with the senior presenting student to review the presentation and PowerPoint BEFORE the journal club.  Please submit the review with your name (not optional) by Wednesday afternoon of the journal club presentation.  The reviewer must also submit a critique of the presentation as well.  This post-journal club critique should be submitted using the same feedback form as soon as possible after the presentation.
