To: All Level 2 students taking the Cellular Pathology and Skills unit

	Learning Resources Lecture and practical sessions: 12-13/11/09 Hi everyone, You will hopefully be aware that you have a lecture with me this coming Thursday, 12/11/09 in Room C415, as part of the Cellular Pathology and Skills Unit. This is an important and interactive lecture, which will build upon the knowledge which you learned last year during Level 1. The lecture will focus upon the electronic databases which are available to support your assignment research at Level 2. In order for you to get the most out of this session, we have scheduled two practical sessions in the afternoon on Friday 13th November. Whilst it is appreciated that you are not normally in on fridays, it has proved very difficult to schedule practical sessions elsewhere during the week and you should find the practical session beneficial. I have scheduled two sessions as follows: Friday 13th November: 1.30 - 2.45 pm for students with last names Abdul - Azim to Howard 3.00 - 4.15 pm for students with last name Khatoon - Zacharovova Please make every effort to attend one of these sessions. If you cannot attend either session, please let me know and we will look at alternative arrangements. Best wishes, Keith	Posted by: Keith Daniels

British Journal of Haematology (Available in print & online)
Cell (online only) - This has obvious relevance to a wide range of areas in the Biomedical Sciences.
Cryobiology (Print and online) *
Cryo-letters (Print and online) *
Journal of Neuroscience (Print and Online)
Nature Biotechnology (Online only) *
Neuroscience Research (Print and Online)
Neuro Report (Print only)

Items marked * will be of particular relevance to new and returning Postgraduate Biotechnology students.
