Basic Science Journal Club

This event provides a forum for fellows to present and discuss current topics in basic science. Each month a fellow selects an article and leads a discussion with his/her peers. Ideally, the topic will have broad appeal to fellows from different divisions and departments and provide an opportunity to share varying perspectives.
