Journal Clubs (Creating reading groups that people want to be part of)

Journal Clubs (Creating reading groups that people want to be part of)

In this episode I talk to three lovely researchers all about journal clubs (AKA reading groups) – what they are, why you might want to be part of one, and how to start your own! I also give some insights from my own experiences running a (control-related) journal club, as well as a summary of three of my favourite papers we’ve read.
