Journal Club

This could become a central repository for online journal clubs, i.e. an open discussion of published articles, similar to what is commonly done in small groups in research institutions. A "journal chat" tool has been added on OpenWetWare and could complement a slower discussion on the wiki pages (see chat tab at the top of the page). This page could serve as a hub to individual article reviews. Outstanding papers could be brought to everybody's attention by highlighting them here.

"The skill of writing is to create a context in which other people can think." ~Edwin Schlossberg ([1]) "Writing gives you the illusion of control, and then you realize it's just an illusion, that people are going to bring their own stuff into it." ~David Sedaris (*1956 [2]) "Whoever in discussion adduces authority uses not intellect but memory." ~Leonardo da Vinci (1452-1519 [3])
