Vision Science Journal Club

A Discussion of Contemporary Vision Research

​The Department of Ophthalmology is pleased to announce the start of the Vision Research Journal Club!  This journal club will broadly cover contemporary literature in the visual sciences.  Everyone is welcome – our goal is to assemble the diverse vision research community present within the University and learn from each other.  We will meet the 1st Tuesday of each month during the academic year from 12 PM – 1 PM in the Ophthalmology Conference Room (RC-1 North, room 5109).  As we are meeting at noon, you are encouraged to bring your lunch with you.

 

If you are interested in presenting at the Journal Club, please contact Dr. Joe Brzezinski or Spencer LaFasto to be added to our list of presenters.
