Approximately 30 participants take turns in presenting research results or reviews of journal articles in an informal setting. Each member will present approximately every 10 months. This club has met continuously for the last 12 years. Graduate students can register to receive 1 credit for the course. This journal cub, which has been running continuously for more than ten years, is an extension of the Kung-Lab activities.
Emphasis is placed on concepts and techniques related to the students' ion-channel research.
It is regularly attended by some 10 to 15 people, mostly members of the Kung lab. This is also a one-credit course, Genetics 677. Newcomers are welcome. All aspects of cell death in the central nervous system are covered. Presentations are rotated alphabetically by name and coordinated by Ron Kalil, with help from Jim Franklin, Peter Lipton, and Dandan Sun.
