This is an old schedule. The new one is here.



BCMB 609 - Spring 2019

Plant Biology Journal Club

We will discuss recent papers from the primary literature that explain the functioning of plants from the subcellular level to whole-plant physiology.

You can demonstrate your dedication by coming to our regular meetings on Tuesdays at 3:45 pm in Helser Biology 427.

If you want to know how to select a paper for a Journal Club, look here. This page also explains how to prepare your presentation.

Remember to send me at least one question about that weeks paper prior to the journal club (email time stamp before 3:30 pm).

Also remember to ask at least one question on at last three different days. The journal club is supposed to be a discussion!

If you have other questions, contact your friendly instructor, Andreas Nebenführ (974-9201; nebenfuehr(at)utk.edu; office: Hesler 240).

And as always, guests are welcome.

Tell your friends! - Come in masses! - Have fun with science!
