Lecture 1

|
Announcements:

Welcome to the "Fluorescence Approaches in Biochemistry" Journal Club.
On Wednesday we will give some outlines on how we expect you to present the papers and we will make the final schedule for the presentations. We will also assign and schedule the discussion groups. These groups are not going to be the same as the ones you formed for the presentations. Our goal is to have 3 people with different background (i.e. different labs), so they can analyze and discuss the papers from a different perspective.
Papers selected for presentations should be submitted to the instructors 2 weeks in advance for approval.
Randomly, a one question quiz on the current paper may be given at the end of the presentation to be answered for all students. Be prepare.
A Blog was created to stimulate the discussion on general topics related to the Journal Club or Fluorescence Spectroscopy in general. Have you seen an interesting web page? , Have you found an interesting course in fluorescence?, Have you learned about a new fellowship? Meetings? , etc. Well, you can share that with us in the Blog. |
