The aim of the club is to informally review and discuss recent publications that are of interest to the specific research of the group or to cosmology in general. You should post the Arxiv numbers of papers that interest you on this page. Everybody is encouraged to contribute as often as possible.

The Darklight Journal Club meets every Thursday at 11:30am in '"sala 550"' (next to the tea room).

This term we are experimenting with new formats, reviews, didactic talks, black board presentations etc.
