Center for Neurobehavioral Genetics

NBG Journal Club

The Neurobehavioral Genetics (NBG) Journal Club involves in-depth discussion of research methodology used in recent papers selected by predoctoral and postdoctoral trainees participating in our Training Program for Neurobehavioral Genetics.

Meetings are hosted biweekly (every other Tuesday, 5 pm –  6 pm) throughout the academic year, from September to June. At this time, they are conducted remotely over Zoom. If you are interested in joining, please sign up for our mailing list!
