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 section below.

Preferably, selected articles won't be exceptionally long, and would relate (at least tangentially) to LIGO.
