Journal Club

This is a monthly journal club organised by the OIST Neuroscience Club.

Papers can be presented by anyone, and even co-presented by researchers from different units, e.g. a computationalist and an experimentalist, to increase the diversity of scientific thought and discussion. All staff, students, and visitors are welcome to attend, irrespective of unit or research area.

2021 organisers: T.Mokhothu (thato.mokhothu@oist.jp), and Y.Kajihara (yuma.kajihara1@oist.jp)
2019-2020 organisers: T.Burns and M. ElTabbal.
