Journal Club is held at 12:00 in the basement meeting room each alternate Tuesdays with the Astrophysics group meeting. All are invited. Papers presented are typicaly from Nature, Science or otherwise high impact science. Submissions for papers to discuss are welcome, please email Michael Keith with suggestions.
Speakers will be randomly selected from the astrophysics pool if there are less than two weeks before the journal club, to give people adiquate time to find a paper.
