October 2015 Journal Club Launches
CIESS thrives on interdisciplinary frontier research and has launched a Journal Club beginning October 2015. Each Wednesday, the Journal Club will review a journal paper of high scientific significance and identify the strengths and weaknesses of the paper. The purpose of the Journal Club is to review a paper and ask critical questions. Dr. Yang requests that participants read the paper and be prepared to ask/answer the questions raised in the meeting. Please remember that, in this club, we will not focus on the technical details of the paper, rather, we will focus on its scientific value. The specific purposes of the club are as follows:
- Learn to review papers of high scientific significance,
- Learn to write a paper of high scientific significance,
- Enhance our communication skill in discussing science topics,
- Be updated about the current progress in science in and out of our field.
