== Description ==
The LHO journal club meets at noon on Thursdays in the Large Conference Room of the OSB. The idea is to bring people together over lunch
and talk about a recent journal article from PRL, ApJ or the like. Someone is designated as a lead (ensuring someone has read the article!), to initiate the discussion, but not to present slides or give a monologue. The lead should also post a PDF of the article below, a few days in advance. Preferably, selected articles won't be exceptionally long, and would relate (at least obliquely) to LIGO.
