Journal Club Meetings

People spend a minute or two saying what they've been doing over the past week. After this one person introduces a recent paper, putting up a few slides giving the background and main results from the paper. The group then fawns over it or tears it to shreds, depending on how much we like it.

Papers are selected by the person listed on the rota. Rules are papers must have been published within the last 6 months. Astro-ph papers are eligible. No self papers. People should email the paper link to everyone the Monday or Tuesday before the meeting.

Important: If someone will be away for their slot, arrange a swap with someone and change this wiki.

Group Roundup Meetings

About every couple of months , everyone prepares some slides/figure or two on something they've been working on the past month, and chats about it for 5-10 minutes to the rest of the group.
