[Plsfaculty] Journal clubs, spring 2013

[Betsy Arnold]

Dear colleagues,

 A vital aspect of our graduate students' training lies in learning to
critically evaluate the primary literature. To this end, students are
encouraged to enroll in "journal club" courses throughout their graduate
careers. In fall 2012, two such courses have been taught in our School: one
by Karen Schumaker, and one by me, with co-leadership by Dave Baltrus and
Rachel Gallery (SNRE).

 For spring 2013, Marc Orbach has graciously volunteered to lead a journal
club focusing on Current Topics in Fungal Biology.  He expects that this
will focus on signaling, development, and population biology, and he plans
to tailor the topics to best serve the students who enroll. Thank you for
teaching this course, Marc!

 At this point we are seeking another faculty member who might be willing
to offer a plant-centric or 'thematic' journal club. Would you be
willing/interested?

Please contact me ASAP if you'd like to do so, and feel free to send
questions my way.

 With many thanks,
Betsy Arnold
