1. Biophysics Journal Club @ Ohio University Spring 2004, Wednesday's 4:00pm, Room: Clippinger 259 In this Journal club we will discuss topics in Biophysics ranging from basic ideas to the latest developments. Participants will present articles in a 30min presentation format with a plenty of time for discussion. First meeting: March 31 st,2004: Organizational meeting One credit is encouraged to be taken: Graduate: Phys 897C call# 07133 Undergrad: Phys 493 call# 07132 If you want to be added to the journal club mailing list and/or suggest an article or subject to discuss please e-mail: Ido Braslavsky Ido Braslavsky
