I've presented 1-2 dozen papers at journal clubs now. I think it'd be fun to highlight my favorite papers again here. Will give it a shot tomorrow!

@lili Sounds exciting! Back in my postdoc times, the lab organized a "Development and disease" journal club and only a fraction survived close scrutiny by a dozen students and postdocs. There was often either a fundamental flaw, or some shady corners. Given that papers were chosen from flashy journals, that opened my eyes to what the pressure to publish can do to the scientific enterprise. Looking forward to seeing what you'll come up with; almost rooting for a selection of the good ones only.

@albertcardona I do sometimes feel that the flashier the journal, the less rigorous the paper. I don't have any papers that survived unscathed from the journal club, but I'll share the ones the ones that had interesting ideas within.
