Church Lab Journal Club

        **************  NOTE TIME AND ROOM CHANGE  ************

The purpose of the Church Lab journal club is to explore various topics related to functional genomics and computational biology.  Suggested formats for presentations include analyses of relevant journal articles (current or historical), tutorials (software packages, web sites, statistical algorithms), brain-storming sessions on how to apply new techniques within the lab, etc.

Wednesday Network modeling journal discussions in Mudd 2nd floor conference room.   Each week 1 person presents and another person brings food.  Journal articles should be distributed 1 week in advance.  Attendance is open to all.
