The soft condensed matter journal club meets weekly throughout
the entire year. Meeting times are chosen to fit the club
members' schedules and thus change from semester to semester.
Topics vary widely and are influenced by the current interests
of those in the journal club, as can be seen from the below list
of past papers. Journal club participants include both theory
and experimental students, and anybody is welcome to join.
Meetings are typically held in MSC E116 (the basement classroom).
