Jour­nal Club is open to all Mas­sas­oit stu­dents and fac­ul­ty who are inter­est­ed in involv­ing them­selves in sci­en­tif­ic dis­cus­sion. At each week­ly meet­ing, a mem­ber presents a pub­lished aca­d­e­m­ic jour­nal arti­cle to the rest of the group pro­ceed­ed by an open dis­cus­sion with the group about the arti­cle. Top­ics of dis­cus­sion range from clar­i­fi­ca­tion to cri­tiques of the sci­en­tif­ic meth­ods. Although the meet­ing starts with a pre­sen­ta­tion about the arti­cle, it is high­ly encour­aged to read it before­hand to facil­i­tate high­er qual­i­ty dis­cus­sions.

Jour­nal Club meets every Fri­day at 12:00 pm in room S101. Sub­scribe to the mail­ing list to receive each week’s Jour­nal Club arti­cle ahead of time and stay up to date on any Jour­nal Club news by email­ing stemresearch@massasoit.com.
