The Center for Star and Planet Formation (CSPF) Journal Club takes place on alternate Wednesdays at 12:30PM in the Moon Room on the Institute for Astronomy's Manoa campus. A polycom link is available. The Journal Club is an informal discussion of a recent publication concerning star or planet formation led by a volunteer from the IfA community. The aim is to help keep the community of researchers working in these fields up to date and in communication on current issues.

For questions, suggestions, or if you would like to volunteer, please contact Jon Swift
