Hi Guys

I am interested in starting an online journal article discussion group here.
My idea is every week one group member will choose a peer reviewed journal article and share the article with all other group members at the beginning of the week.All group members will read the article over the whole week then will post their comments and important notes on the article and carry on a discussion on a particular predetermined day at the end of the week.

I am personally a cardiovascular research student...But all cell and molecular Biology researchers are most welcome to join this group.Interested people please respond to this post ASAP....and let us sign up here.....

Thanks

How about this one ? The findings are interesting but many experiments are repetitive

Actually I was kind of more interested in cardiovascular that reproductive research...are you working on reproductive physiology?...but still i think it will be a very good paper to go through...we will post our comments on this paper next Wednesday ........But if the another member of the group also responds to this paper it will be great......Thanks to "Research Lover" for searching a paper for the Journal Club...

Thanks

No actually i'm not, i work on natural products and cancer but i love to read articles from time to time that are not in my field of study
At the summer journal club(that i started this year at my uni) we're gonna discuss an article of a cardiovascular nature, will send you the title it to you as soon as we get it if you like
PS: We re not gonna have the journal club on a WE are we?

@Research Lover

I really like your suggestion. ...to read different type of papers is a really good idea. The paper you selected is really interesting. I really appreciate your search for this paper.Hope Adrian K will also agree with us. Lets read this paper on fertility this week and post our questions and comments on it next Wednesday.....

PS....I am a new graduate student so i may have stupid questions and confusions....Hope you wont mind..

Thanks

I'll play too. I miss journal club.

I'm a microbiologist, so I'm interested in microbe-host interactions. I also like neuroscience.

[Adrian K]

Indeed, this is a very interesting article, although I have to admit that I really have to struggle a bit to understand the nature of the work.

I'm a microbiologist as well, postgraduate.

In fact, I think is good if we can have some well experienced researcher and professors to guide us on this journal club, esp those who had published a lot of papers. (you know who you are... )

Hi all....

This is an application for becoming a member of this Journal Club.  


Would like to bring a technical issue though. Papers suggested here might not be accessible to all (read me). I don't think that Bioforum will encourage open sharing of articles on a forum. So a request to PM the paper to me. We can then circulate it around for those who ask for it
