The Developmental Biology Journal Club (DBJC) is a weekly forum where program members can learn about and discuss recently published developmental biology-themed research findings.
Graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, and primary investigators all share presentation responsibilities. Once a member is chosen to present at the DBJC he or she must choose a topic outside his or her typical field of interest, adapt the article for a 30-40 minute PowerPoint presentation, and be prepared to discuss the work in a Q&A session afterwards.
Journal Club is a great way for less-established researchers to gain public speaking and question-and-answer experience in a collegial, non-stressful environment. Additionally, younger program members can learn staging and questioning skills from senior member DBJC presentations. Refreshments are always served and attendees are encouraged to continue their discussions after the seminar has ended.
Join us for the next Developmental Biology Journal Club on August 14, 2009, when Jonathan Fleming (Cell & Developmental Biology) will will lead the discussion.
The 2009 Developmental Biology Journal Club schedule through December 2009 follows.
