Guidelines

  1. Send a copy of the article you'll be talking about (at least the Monday before) to all other members of the Journal Club.
  2. Prepare a simple presentation explaining the paper1. Highlight what you like and what you diseagree with.
  3. The scheduled day, you will present the paper and we'll have a discussion about it later. Mandatory to ask at least one question to stimulate the discussion!
