=== Preparation for Journal Club on Your Species ===

The scientific community uses primary research articles as one method of communicating the science within the community (presentations and posters at scientific meetings is another).  Primary research articles undergo a process of peer review before they are published, but the quality of papers still vary.  "Journal Club" presentations are the means by which scientists with similar research interests learn about, discuss, and evaluate new research.

# Make a list of at least 10 biological terms for which you did not know the definitions when you first read the article.  Define each of the terms.  You can use the glossary in any molecular biology, cell biology, or genetics text book as a source for definitions, or you can use one of many available online biological dictionaries.  Cite your sources for the definitions by providing the proper citation (for a book) or the URL to the page with the definition for online sources.  '''''Each definition must have it's own URL citation.'''''

# Write an outline of the article.  The length should be a minimum of the equivalent of 2 pages of standard 8 1/2 by 11 inch paper (you can use the "Print Preview" option in your browser to see the length).  Your outline can be in any form you choose, but you should utilize the wiki syntax of headers and either numbered or bulleted lists to create it.  The text of the outline does not have to be complete sentences, but it should answer the questions listed below and have enough information so that others can follow it.  However, your outline should be in YOUR OWN WORDS, not copied straight from the article.
