The CIRTN-R2FIC Journal Club is a trainee-led initiative to connect network members and facilitate discussion on all things islets. These sessions will consist of a mix of journal article analyses, panel discussions, and guest speaker presentations.
Journal Club takes place on the last Wednesday of every month via Zoom at 10 AM PT | 11 AM MT | 12 PM CT | 1 PM ET.
Trainees (undergraduate students, graduate students, and postdoctoral fellows) can earn entries into monthly draws for a $100 gift card in the following ways: attending a session (one entry), tweeting about Journal Club using the hashtag #CIRTNJC (one entry), asking a question at a session (two entries), and presenting at a session (ten entries).
You can also find video links to previous sessions below, when speaker consent is given and recordings are available.
