Journal Club

NEURO SEMINAR / JOURNAL CLUB

JOURNAL CLUB

Journal Club (NEUR 8030) is a weekly opportunity for the UGA Neuroscience community to discuss its primary literature. Unless indicated, all sessions are held in Coverdell 141 (unless otherwise noted) from 4:00-5:00 every 2nd-4th/5th Tuesday.

Students of the Neuroscience PhD Program are encouraged to regularly present and discuss a paper they deem important. To participate, contact Adriana Copley (adriana.copley@uga.edu). Be sure to include a proposed date and your chosen paper. Literature will be disseminated to the Neuroscience community at least a week prior.

SEMINAR SERIES

The Monthly Neuroscience Seminar Series is held the 1st Tuesday of every month in Coverdell S175 at 4:00. These talks are always open to the general public.
