Curious to learn more about neuroscience straight from the literature, but finding it difficult to get a start? Interested in finding a community of like-minded students? Grey Matters has launched the UW's first ever undergraduate Journal Club!
College life can be incredibly busy, so we've planned Journal Club with you in mind: no prior scientific knowledge is required, nor will you need to have finished reading the paper. This is a judgment-free zone hoping to foster curiosity and learning, regardless of your educational background.

Journal Club leadership applications are currently closed for 2023-2024.

Feedback Form
If you have any feedback after the meeting, please let us know. Journal Club is meant for you, after all!
Mandatory Attendance for First-Time Authors and Editors
First-time authors and editors of the Grey Matters Production Team are required to attend at least one Journal Club meeting every quarter.
Why is it Mandatory?
This is because Journal Club has similar goals to the production team, and therefore first-time authors and editors would benefit from:
- Learning how to communicate complex topics and research papers to the public in a concise and understandable manner
- Observing from experienced senior Grey Matters members and others
- Connecting with the wider Grey Matters community
Meeting Archives
Check out the Grey Matters Journal Club Archives if you missed a meeting or are interested in looking through old Journal Club content!
Article Access
Quite a few of our articles will need to be accessed via paid journals, so we highly recommend using the UW Proxy Bookmarklet to access this content instead. If you're still having trouble accessing, feel free to contact us at thalamus@greymattersjournal.org or talk to us after a meeting!
