Star and Planet Formation Journal Club

The Star and Planet Formation Journal Club is a forum in which we discuss recent articles of interest in the literature. Our principal focus is on star and planet formation, although we also regularly discuss articles on the interstellar medium. The format is informal, and we welcome talks from visitors to the CfA. We meet every Wednesday during the school year, at 11:00 in Phillips Auditorium. Coffee, tea and cookies will be provided.
