Welcome
These pages are here for historical interest. You probably want the latest pages instead.
Our meetings are sometimes about reading new papers, sometimes reviewing more standard material and occasionally hosting guest speakers. Our schedule is flexible. Please look at future topics and add your own to the wiki page. Each week you should try to read at least one of the papers suggested.
Archives of previous years’ meetings are available: 1999–2000, 2003, 2004 and 2005.
Other journal clubs according to Google and according to Yaroslav Bulatov February 2005.
