Journal Club

Journal Club Brand Image

The Journal Club of the Carboncopies Foundation generally meets once per month, and aims to do so on the 1st Sunday, at 11:30 am US Pacific Time (6:30 pm GMT).

The Journal Club is open to the public. A video stream of the Journal Club, with text chat for Q&A, is created on the foundation YouTube channel (http://livestream.carboncopies.org). There is typically also room for direct participants from the general public via video conference (http://call.carboncopies.org). You are very welcome to call in!

We rely on the generous efforts of our Journal Club presenters, and we make an effort to accommodate their availability. For this reason, the actual date and time of the next Journal Club meeting will be published here when confirmed. (An announcement will also be posted via newsletter mailing list and on our social media channels, e.g. Facebook group, Twitter.)

Next anticipated Journal Club topic:

An introduction to methods for neuromimetic model construction.

Based on published papers by Song et al and Berger et al.

Presenter: Dr. Randal Koene
