The Cosmology Journal Club @ Duke Physics 

Where: Thursdays at 2pm @ High Energy Physics Conference Room

Organizers

Maria, Chien-Hao

About the Journal Club

• It is an informal meeting
• Here is a list of Useful Papers suggested for presentation.
• This page  holds the relevant information up to date. There is a slack channel in duke-cosmo called #journalclub with the relevant communications of the meeting
• Presenting rules: 
  1. ~60 minutes presentation with questions interspersed throughout the presentation
  2. Paper can be any arxiv post, if recent much better
• Presenters for journal clubs are designated at the beginning of semesters.
