The Postdoc Journal Club is a monthly meeting where postdoctoral researchers select and present a journal article relevant to their research. Each session, one participant chooses a recent or impactful paper, summarizes key findings, and leads a discussion with the group. The goal is to foster critical analysis, stay updated on advancements, and encourage interdisciplinary collaboration. The group collectively reviews the article, offering insights, discussing methodologies, and evaluating its significance. This interactive format enhances scientific communication skills and keeps researchers engaged with the latest developments in their field.
