I would like to propose that we start a regular Journal Club.
Benefits of having a regular Journal Club:
- We will explore current research topics more deeply through discussion than by individual reading.
- We will be exposed to new topics that we wouldn't normally flag ourselves.
- We will become more knowledgeable of other Endy/Knight lab projects.
- We will discuss more papers than the sporadic one or two per year that we read under the current Journal Club model.
I know that we have tried having regular Journal Clubs in the past, and they all fizzled. So I would like to propose a new format that would perhaps be more sustainable:
- Meet once or twice per month.
- We would meet on the same day of the week at the same time, so it would become a habit (like group meeting).
- Assign each journal club to one club member. This person would be in charge of selecting a paper and leading the discussion.
- We could assign slots in a similar manner to group snack (a duty which is never neglected, hehe)
- Invite people from outside the Endy/Knight labs, who may have an interest in our topics of discussion.
- This might freshen up the meetings, so it isn't always the same group with which we always hang out.
I would love to hear any thought you guys might have about this.
If you are interested in participating in a regular Journal Club, please sign up below:
