[Ion Channel JC] summer ICJC

[channeljc at clm.utexas.edu]

Starting from May 20th, we will have another round of ICJC in the summer. It has been suggested that we can change the focus a little bit for the summer, i.e., instead of following the latest publications, we will have a review
of historical biophysics papers, especially those from the Aldrich lab, so we can benefit more from Rick's presence in the journal club. 



With Weiyan's help, I have selected 10 most important biophysics papers from the lab. Please give your opinion on the new way of journal club, the paper selection and more importantly volunteer on some of these papers.
