A journal club for -omicsy things @ UCLA. Send me a paper if you'd like to suggest one, otherwise I will choose.
We meet at the Hammer Museum cafe Fridays at 5:30 for beer and science (entrance is free). If you're reading this, feel free to stop by.
We are modeled after Jeff Ross-Ibarra's REHAB, please check there for information on the format. In short, no one presents the paper and we jump in as soon as the beer arrives.
We have a mailing list here. Feel free to join or email me ([email protected]) for paper annoucements.
