Sign up for a journal club by hitting "edit" to the left and adding your name & topic. It is also a good idea to upload a paper if your journal club involves reading an article. To do that, hit "uploads" to the left. The defaults will automatically add a link to the paper from this website - just move that link to be placed below your name & topic. See the ?help page or ask me (Matt Keller) if you have questions.
