The aim of the “Journal Club” is to present a summary of a journal article and discuss it in the comments below or on social meeja.

And if you wish to submit your own summary of an article you like, please do. If you can’t access the paper in question, emailing the corresponding author usually works (CERP is free to access). Comments on this article are open until…

I don’t really like admitting this to the learning community, but I don’t really like Prezi. Exhibit…
