Cake Club 🍰

Ein StΓΌck Kuchen, das mit Schnipseln aus wissenschaftlichen Publikationen dekoriert ist

Every first Friday of the month (regularly), we hold a Journal Club. Journal Clubs are regular meetings during which current (or older) scientific publications are presented and critically examined. The goal of this meeting is, on the one hand, to engange with current research findings in our field, and, on the other,  to train critical reading skills, in particular with regards to a priori plausibility of hypotheses, appropriateness of study designs to test these hypotheses, quality and robustness of (statistical) analysis strategies and their interpretation and integration into the existing literature. Also, there's cake.

  • Next meeting: tba
  • Location: Fabrikstrasse 8, A343 or via Zoom (hybrid)
  • Target Paper: tba
  • Cake: tba

Participation in the Cake Club is open to anyone who's interested. There is no commitment to participate in every meeting. Anyone who'd like to drop-in once or who would like to come regularly should simply write an email to malte.elson@unibe.ch. The Cake Club is a hybrid event, such that online participation is possible (you just need to provide your own cake then).
