Journal Club
The Cosmology group has journal club meetings on Wednesday at 12:00 in the Meeting Room. These are informal discussions about recent papers posted on the arXiv, led each week by a discussion leader who also chooses the paper(s). All are welcome! To volunteer to lead a discussion, please send an email to andrei.mesinger(at)sns.it.| Discussion leader | Date | Paper(s) |

Numerics Meetings
Our group has regular, informal meeting on software, numerical methods, issues, and other technical things.
