Condensed Matter Journal Club at the University of Toronto

The purpose of this journal club is to create the opportunity to semi-informally discuss the large body of literature that as a combined group we read. For each week the idea would be to choose one leader who would thoroughly read a paper of general interest and present it to the group as a discussion piece. We hope this will be a safe environment (nominally no faculty allowed!) where all questions are welcome and treated equally...and answered by the group as well as is possible.
