This week we will be discussing about dinosaurs in Journal Club. For those of you who have not been to Journal Club, it is an experience that you should take. Not only do we get to chat with professors and part take in discussions but we get to talk about really awesome journal articles such as this week article about dinosaurs. We will be discussing the reproductive traits of Maniraptoran Theropods and egg taxonomy. Reading articles weekly and discussing them, I believe help me better understand articles and how to asses good and bad writing. Journal club opens your mind to different styles of writing in a scientific article while allowing input of others to better understand the information. Some say practice makes perfect, well at least a bit close to it, so by being able to read articles in journal club you'll get the practice of reading scientific articles and improve your writing skills. If you are interested in coming to Journal Club the article is posted on the biology web page in the link News and events, Journal club, and we meet on Fridays from 3:30-4:30 in room 2.288. Oh and did I mention FREE FOOD! Below I posted the website for Journal Club.
