Are these considered usable papers for teh Journal Club? The Links

I would think the one paper, carefully presented, would make an excellent journal club topic. This would be grand, our club has been rather inactive lately.

Should I run a poll? or select on myself.

It'll be great to get the journal club up and running again! Please, go ahead and pick one yourself. The only one in that list that I'd advise against choosing would be the last, only because it appears to be a book chapter rather than a research article. I think an original research article would be easier to discuss here than a chapter that would be a review of literature.

Thanks for volunteering to start it up again!
