This is Journal Club in which a graduate student, postdoctoral fellow or faculty member presents a recent scientific paper they select, which is discussed by the attendees. It meets once a week on Fridays, 10:10-11:00 am, Whittaker Room, A409 Corson Hall.
Contact Jesse Goldberg for more information.
