SHEP Journal Club

The SHEP Journal Club will set off on Wednesday, 4^th of October 2006 at 2pm.

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: Except for 24-01-07 (TR2) the Journal club will always be in TR1.

Here is the order of topics and also the corresponding references which we are planning to cover:
