Journal Club Presentation
- Student teams will present the findings from one
or morejournal articles: visit ACS Synthetic Biology or Molecular Systems Biology look at the Selected
Articles in Synthetic Biology; each team will
choose articles to present and submit as a TEAM Assignment
in OWL-Space
- You will give a 15 minute journal club style
presentation
in PowerPoint followed by 5 minutes Q/A
- The journal club presentation, which is 25% of your
final grade, is one way I evaluate your understanding of
the molecular biology used in designing genetic circuits
and your ability to communicate these findings in an appropriate
and accurate manner
- Student presentations will be given from 1-2 p.m. on
lab days 5-7; see the Journal
Club Presentation Schedule in OWL-Space Resources
- Here are some Tips on How
to Present a Paper.
Remember to address weaknessess/inconsistencies in the study -- do the results support the authors' conclusions?
- I will use the Presentation
Evaluation Form (313JClub_eval_F13.pdf in
OWL-Space Resources) to assess your presentation
- You're expected to read ALL the articles for each day,
even the day you are presenting; be prepared to
discuss each article and ask questions. See How
to Read a Scientific Article (howtoread.pdf in OWL-Space Resources) for tips on reading research
papers.
