Please try to read the article before coming, and bring thoughts and
questions (though Marshall will sum up key points at the start ;-)
Here are a few questions to warm up your critical-thinking-caps

What strengths or weaknesses do you see in the methods?
Are the conclusions and approaches outlined in the discussion
supported by the data?
How, if at all, does the study apply in your own area? Is there
anything you think you might try or change, as a result of reading
this paper?

A one hour session, discussion in text chat
