Journal Club (spring 2012)

Journal Club is every Thursday, from 1-2pm, in the small meeting room. Feel free to bring your lunch. We also have a Group Meeting.

Ideally, someone from the group should volunteer to choose a paper for each meeting, and should update this page and email the paper around on the Friday the week before the meeting. If a volunteer is not forthcoming, Micha will encourage someone to volunteer. Alternatively, people can also give tutorials on any scientific topic that may be of interest to other members of the group. The tutorial marketplace is the place to set and see the supply and demand for tutorials.
