Message from Borries:

Dear Biophysics Students:

To encourage participation in the class (which is part of your grade) each
instructor will assign 3 manuscripts for presentation by one student. So
each student will have the opportunity to present one manuscript to the
class in standard journal club format: You have 15 minutes to discuss
the manuscript and let us know:

1. what was the object of the research?
2. what was the hypothesis?
3. how was it tested - i.e., what methods, technology was applied?
4. what results were obtained and what was contributed?
5. what was the significance/impact of the work, and what was learned?
6. were there any weaknesses or open questions left unanswered?
7. anything else you thought was noteworthy and interesting

Then there will be 10 minutes of Q & A by the rest of the students,
and opportunity to discuss. To give everyone a chance to participate,
every student who does not present on a paper needs to submit 2-3
questions about the presented manuscript, which means everyone needs
to read the 3 assigned manuscripts and be familiar with the work.
Please submit your questions to the instructor of the section to which
the manuscript belongs. The instructor will moderate the Q & A session.
Time limits will be strictly enforced, so practice your presentation
beforehand to make sure you stay within the allotted time. The quality
of your presentation will be part of your grade.

Each student should send their top 4 choices of manuscripts for
presentation to demeler@gmail.com and we will try to accommodate your
top choices. If no choices are sent in by Jan 31st, we will assign
manuscripts based on availability.

The selections will be listed online on the biophysics website,
or go to the direct link:


https://demeler.uleth.ca/biophysics/Presentation-Assignment-List.html

All manuscripts that can be chosen for presentation are labeled
with a prefix 1-, 2- or 3-, and are listed in the archive directory from
each instructor:

        https://demeler.uleth.ca/biophysics/archive/Ross/
        https://demeler.uleth.ca/biophysics/archive/Demeler/
        https://demeler.uleth.ca/biophysics/archive/Savelyev/
        https://demeler.uleth.ca/biophysics/archive/Brookes/

All other manuscripts are optional and intended to provide further
background to the presented lecture material.

thanks,
Sandy
