GradGrrl Posted October 7, 2005 Share Posted October 7, 2005 OK, I volunteered to present a paper next week in journal club and I told them I would do it on some sort of prion disease (CWD, madcow etc...) Maybe one of you guys can suggest a good paper for me to present...recent, average length, and interesting? Any help would be appreciated. GSS (grad school sucks) Edit: P.S. it needs to be molecularly based Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mezarashi Posted October 7, 2005 Share Posted October 7, 2005 Smells like work. A really hot topic would be the notorious bird flu. I have no idea where you could get scholarly papers for bio-chem related stuff however. Good luck... and I hope grad school doesn't such that much >.> (I'm going there soon) P.S. I guess I just posted cuz your nick somehow resembled "****girl". Just pretending to be a girl gets you 10 times the attention. I'm a victim !!

Skye Posted October 7, 2005 Share Posted October 7, 2005 The most recent paper about prions I saw news about was on how size of the prion particles affects how infectious they are, small being more infectious than large. I actually couldn't find the paper, but found this, which is pretty damn similar. http://www.eurekalert.org/pub_releases/2005-09/nioa-nsc090605.php JR Silveira et al.
