The LIGO journal club meets at 3:00PM on Fridays on 2nd floor of W Bridge (room 265). We meet to discuss a recent journal article from PRL, ApJ or the like. Someone is designated as a lead, to initiate the discussion, but not to present slides or give a monologue. The lead should also post a link to the article a few days in advance in the [[#Meetings and papers|Meetings and papers]] section below.
Line 2: Line 3:
Journal club meetings are held weekly on ???days at ??:?? PM. Preferably, selected articles won't be exceptionally long, and would relate (at least tangentially) to LIGO.
