SHEP Journal Club

We are planning to split each session into (15+45) minutes. During the first 15 minutes everybody is invited to briefly summarize and thus advertise to the Journal Club a recently published paper which he thinks is exciting and thus worth reading. The remaining 45 minutes will be devoted to the discussion of the publications we jointly decided on (cf. table below).

The room assignment: The Journal club will always be in TR4, room 2001.

The Journal Club meetings will be hold on MONDAYS at 15:00. Changes will be noticed in advance.

On Monday 14th January, the meeting will take place in the Seminar Room.
