Peer Rebrew


A genomics/systems biology journal club

The peer rebrewers meet every other Friday at 5PM at Beggar’s Banquet (location subject to change) to provide an enjoyable, low-pressure setting to discuss significant or recent papers in genomics, systems biology, evolutionary biology, and related fields. No one presents or defends the paper and everyone is assumed to have at least skimmed it to jump right into a casual discussion. Everyone is welcome, attendence every meeting is not mandatory, and anyone can submit a paper suggesstion

This reading group structure is blatantly copied from Jeff Ross-Ibarra’s R.E.H.A.B. Anyone who wants to be added to the email list or has paper suggestions can email me at birdkevi(at)msu.edu
