AirUCI AAAR to start journal club

The AAAR Student Chapter at UCI, founded and run by AirUCI students, is starting a journal club.  Their first meeting will be held Thursday, February 20th from 3 - 4:15 in Rowland Hall room 390.  The format of the club is as follows: one group hosts each month. The hosting group will have a PI or project scientist select a paper and facilitate discussion. They will also provide some insight into what they look for in papers.
 
The hosts for the first meeting will be the Smith group, and a discussion article will be sent out prior to the meeting.  Grad students don't generally get much practice writing papers outside of actually writing them, and it can be difficult to know what makes a good paper.  This journal club is intended to give grad students more opportunities to learn about paper writing from PIs and project scientists who have much more experience in this.  All interested grad students in Physical and Biological Sciences are invited, as well as postdocs, project scientists, and other researchers.
