Profilo personale: Luca Scorrano

Students will be organized into groups for both the Journal Club and the Lab Rotation components of the course. The maximum number of students admitted to the course will be 25. The order of registration in Moodle will apply to determine whether you are admitted to the course or not.
Each Journal Club group will consist of 5/6 students and will be assigned a specific research paper for presentation and discussion. To prepare for this, groups must review relevant background literature and create a PowerPoint presentation on their assigned paper. Presentations should last no longer than 60 minutes, with 30 minutes of discussion.
Lab Rotation groups will be the same. The Lab Rotation will span 32 hours, running from October 19th, to October 23rd, and will take place from morning until evening (tentatively from 9AM to 5PM). A detailed report summarizing the group's activities during the Lab Rotation is a crucial element of the course evaluation. Each group will present their findings during the final exam as a PowerPoint presentation.
