UCF Planetary Science Journal Club
Planetary Science Journal Club seminar series is back on!
Meetings are conducted on Fridays at 11:00 – 12:30 in Room 160/161 of the PS building (building 121) and Zoom (contact us for connection details). Meetings start with elevenses, an opportunity for everyone to informally mingle over a beverage and snacks. The seminar starts at 11:30am.
At our seminar series, everyone is welcome to bring food items and/or snacks and participate. The meetings last about 45 minutes, and are very informal. There will either be a research seminar or (preferably) a journal club.
A general list of topics and ground rules can be found here.
Please contact the organizer(s), Elena Dolgas ( edolgas at ucf.edu) or Theodora Karalidi (tkaralidi at ucf.edu) if you have questions or would like to give a talk.
