AP (StaGE) Journal Club
A new journal club, started in Nov 2018, focusing broadly on topics in statistical genetics. The aim is to provide a inter-departmental forum where researchers and students from different groups can meet to discuss recent stat gen publications (both methods and/or applications). Anybody who is interested is welcome.
The journal club will be held on Wednesdays at 10 am in the lunch room at BiRC, building 1110.
