GAIN Journal Club

Welcome to the website of the "Gravitational Astrophysics, Instrumentation and Numerics (GAIN) Journal Club"! My name is Emily Alicea-Muñoz and I am the current journal club organizer. Our weekly meetings are held on Mondays, at 3:00pm - 4:00pm in NASA/GSFC Bldg 2, Room 215 (the reading room of the Gravitational Astrophysics group). Any changes of schedule will be posted here, as well as announced in the email reminders.
This page will present meeting dates, papers to be discussed (you can download them here by clicking on the link to each paper), and who is leading the discussion for each week. Any changes to the regular schedule will be posted here as well. Email reminders will be sent on Thursday afternoons and Monday mornings.
If you want to be included or taken off the GAIN (unofficial) mailing list, or if you know of someone who might be interested in joining, then just email me at Emily.Alicea-Munoz@nasa.gov and I'll take care of it right away.
IMPORTANT: Please note that the GAIN Journal Club has been on hiatus for a while. I'll make sure to let everyone know when the new season begins.
