Abstract

Throughout the three years the funding of this proposal was utilized , I (Dr. Judd) have weekly laboratory meetings and journal clubs for undergraduate and graduate students in the laboratory. At the journal club, recently published articles related to their research projects are presented by the students and the hypothesis, techniques, data, and conclusions of each of the manuscripts discussed. I also interact with these students to help them plan their presentation and lead the discussion of the manuscript at the end of the presentation. The articles that are chosen for discussion are generally published in “Endocrinology” , the premiere journal in endocrine research. The students also have the opportunity to present their data and talk with me and other students about data analysis and interpretation during the laboratory meeting. The undergraduate students that have been in the laboratory for several semesters generally have their own project and come to my office about once a week to discuss their data and experiments. In the day to day interactions in the laboratory (talking while doing experiments etc.), I try to get to know the students better and talk with them about their academic goals and plans. I also often talk with the students about various recent discoveries of importance (generally in endocrinology, but may be in other areas of science).
