Journal club is a group of graduate students and scientists, mostly with
space science interests, who meet weekly to study and present current
research topics. It is an opportunity for the students to become
familiar with ongoing active research, to learn about journal material,
and to gain practice in giving talks and interpreting results.
The meeting is on FRIDAY from 12:10 to 1 PM in Room 401
Morse Hall
While historically this Journal Club has focused on Space Science
issues, it is certainly open to participation by students from other
(or as yet indeterminate) interests; we cover broader topics such
as instrumentation, computational techniques, etc. Usually there are
student presentations, as well as presentations from the scientists
on various methods and techniques they use in their current research.
