Immunology/Microbiology Journal Club
GMS6921
Fall 2007
Thursday, 12:00-1:00
R2-265
Director: Dr. L.J. Chang (lchang@mgm.ufl.edu)
Recommended articles
(feel free to recommend one to Dr. Chang)
If you choose an article not on this list, please consult with Dr. Chang at
least one week in advance. Please keep in mind that
the article should represent a whole new and exciting discovery - a paradigm
shift in our understanding of immunity and/or microbiology - preferably a
combination of the two fields - NOT an incremental addition to an ongoing story.
It should not be so focused in its scope that only a few members of the journal
club will find it interesting.
Schedules from previous years with links to

*We instituted a new policy this year after the organizational
meeting. We paired a younger student with the senior presenting student to
critique the presentation and PowerPoint BEFORE the journal club.
Link to online form for the critique before the presentation.
The critique should be submitted no later than the day before the journal club.
