Welcome to the UCSF Institute for Human Genetics Junto!
For those of you who are wondering what a Junto is, click here.
Each month, the Junto will meet to discuss topics in the field of human genetics. The discussions are meant to be informal and interactive--participation from all attendees is encouraged. While a journal article will be presented at each meeting, the Junto provides an opportunity for the exchange of ideas, and a place to inform others of the highlights of recent meetings, and point out recent achievements of members of the Institute.
Also, there will be pizza.
UCSF Institute for Human Genetics Junto
I should have mentioned before, that, in the autumn of the preceding year, [1727] I had form'd most of my ingenious acquaintance into a club of mutual improvement, which we called the Junto; we met on Friday evenings. The rules that I drew up required that every member, in his turn, should produce one or more queries on any point of Morals, Politics, or Natural Philosophy, to be discuss'd by the company; and once in three months produce and read an essay of his own
writing, on any subject he pleased.
