Joint UH/UIUC/KSU Weekly journal club

 
The Nuclear Theory group at UH (Prof. Claudia Ratti) is running a joint journal club with the Nuclear Theory group at the University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign (Profs. Jacquelyn Noronha-Hostler and Jorge Noronha) and Kent State University (Prof. Veronica Dexheimer).
Our weekly journal club takes place every Tuesday at 9.30 a.m. CDT via Zoom. If you are interested in joining, please send an email to cratti[at]uh.edu to request the Zoom link.
