Re:        Labmeeting for the FALL

Date:    Sept.12th, 2003

 

Hello-

Here is the FALL Lab meeting schedule. For this academic year, labmeetings are held every Monday, 3pm to 5pm in the Pharmacology Library on thesecond floor of MSRB 3 (right next to Rick Neubig’s lab).

We have three different types of presentations at our lab meeting:

(1) Formal data presentation

(2) Informal data sessions

(3) Journal club

(1) Formal Data Presentation:

Each presenter should plan on a 40 min presentation with 15 min fordiscussion. Your talk should address the following:

INTRODUCTION:

(1)    whatis the goal?

(2)   What is thebackground evidence that supports the research project (either data from ourlab or from the literature).

PROGRESS REPORT:

(1)    Whathas been accomplished to date ? How do your results fit in with the bigpicture?

(2)   What aresome of the problems encountered.

(2) Informal data sessions

(David’s lab members are welcome to attend if sodesired).

Both Cindy and Yingwei will discuss their work in progressin an informal setting (bring notebooks). These will be similar to our Friday afternoon sessions.

(3) Journal club:

Journal club presentations - email the pdf of the paper to everyone inthe group by the preceding Wednesday, Friday at the latest. Papers that areappropriate for discussion- topics relevant to your project which you think thegroup will benefit from.  Pleasepick papers published within the past 1-2 years.

Journal club format:

(1) introduction to the topic- background, evidence leading to theproposed studies

(2) discussion of key experiments - make sure you know how theexperiment was performed and how you would interpret the results

(3) significance of the findings and how you would do differently.
