Re: Labmeeting for the Fall 2006
Date: August18, 2006
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 NeubigŐs 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. Powerpointpresentations are the norm. Your talk should address the following:
INTRODUCTION:
(1)
(2)
PROGRESS REPORT:
(1)
(2)
(2) Informal data sessions
Everyone who has data to show will discuss their work inprogress in an informal setting (bring notebooks).
We typically use transparencies to show the data –we look at raw data as well as graphed data.
(3) Journal club:
Journal papers are discussed in a powerpoint format:
1) by Thursday of the week prior to your JC, email me 5 of your JCselections and I will select one for presentation. Papers that are appropriatefor discussion- topics relevant to your project which you think the group willbenefit from. Please pick paperspublished within the past 1-2 years.
2) email the pdf of the paper to everyone in the group by thepreceding Friday at the latest.
3) we pick significant and relevant papers in the field to discuss.Therefore we typically pick papers from the following journals:
Nature, Nature Genetics, Nature Medicine, NatureNeuroscience, Nature Cell Biology
Science
Cell, Molecular Cell, Cancer Cell, Neuron,Immunity, Developmental Cell
Journal of Cell Biology
Journal of Neuroscience, Development
Genes and Development
PNAS
Journal of Experimental Medicine
Other journals:
Blood
Cell Death Differentiation, Oncogene, CancerResearch
Journal of Biological Chemistry
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.
