Kokomo seminar - is a journal club compulsory for all students where they discuss and critic any scientific paper of interest. We named our journal paper discussions after our entertaining but sometimes dangerous pet the hornbill ( Kokomo in Melanesian pidgin). We have the seminars every fridays at 11am-12noon. The discussions can sometimes take longer than expected, thanks to the unlimited ideas in science.
Below we divide list of presentations into two groups: 1- scientific paper discussions and 2- student/researcher presentations. Feel free to download any material posted.
