The Biology Journal Club is organized by several instructors; current participants include Drs. Faulkes, Persans, Zaidan, Davelos Baines, Lieman and Lowe. Graduate students and advanced undergraduates are strongly encouraged to attend, but all interested parties are welcome. Advantages of joining the Biology Journal Club:

Food!
Gain evaluation skills that help with tests like the MCAT
Get "face time" with about half a dozen professors
Keep up with science news

For more information, contact Dr. Brian Fredensborg.
