SUNY-Opt Journal Club

presented with support from the Schnurmacher Institute for Vision Research
2008-2009

A forum for discussion of current research for PhD students, postdocs,
and MS students in Vision Science at SUNY Optometry

Journal Club meets 3:30-4:30 pm on Wednesdays in room 1425.

Many of our papers are by SIVR Colloquium speakers.

A good summary (from Wake Forest Biophysics) on
how to give a good journal club presentation: pdf
