The Star Formation Journal Club is a bi-monthly meeting of faculty, postdocs and students from the Physics and the Astronomy Departments. At each meeting a participant review a recent paper related to star formation, in his/her field of expertise.
We usually meet every other week afternoons in the Owl room (845 Dennison Building). If you would like to join us, you are encouraged to subscribe to our mailing list, and to check out the schedule.
