Journal Club

The Astrophysics Group holds a regular Journal Club. For each meeting a member of staff gives a brief talk on their current research, and a reviewer selects an interesting recent paper to review (e.g. from the Star Formation or Star Cluster Newsletters or astro-ph).

The meetings are held on the 4th floor of the Physics building in the interaction area on Thursdays at 1pm (unless otherwise noted). All members of the Astrophysics Group are expected to attend and outside attendance is welcome.

You can subscribe to the google calendar of all events in ical or gcal using the url https://calendar.astro.ex.ac.uk/joanna/Journal%20Club.ics.
