Journal Club

The purpose of Journal Club is to keep abreast of new developments in physics inside and outside of our own specialties and to give graduate and undergraduate students experience in reading, interpreting, evaluating and presenting physics topics taken directly from the primary literature. It will be held every Friday afternoon (provisionally) in the large Photonics Seminar Room in Tyndall.

Everybody is welcome to listen, suggest and present!
