SEFS 503 - Journal Club

Current Issues in Restoration Ecology and Environmental Horticulture

SEFS 503

Journal Club (Autumn 2013)

Welcome! We meet on Fridays from 4-5 pm in DRC 103.

Discussions are facilitated by:

· Jon Bakker (on sabbatical)

· Kern Ewing

· Jim Fridley

· Soo-Hyung Kim

· Sarah Reichard

Discussion Board

A discussion board for Journal Club is available here:

https://catalyst.uw.edu/gopost/board/jbakker/29376/

It can be used in many ways:

· Weekly leaders can post questions or comments before class to guide our reading (and the in-class discussion).

· People can continue discussions beyond class time.

· Folk that have to be in the field or are sick can still participate.

· Folk can post relevant articles.
