Florida Extragalactic Astronomy Journal Article Discussion

Wednesdays, 2:00pm, in the conference room unless otherwise noted


The normal goal is for everyone to have read the paper in advance of the discussion, such that the designated person for the week is simply providing a recap and leading the discussion.
