"It's much easier to be critical than to be correct."
Benjamin Disraeli, in a speech to the House of Commons

The Star and Planet Formation Journal Club is an informal forum for the CfA community where we discuss recent articles of interest in the literature. Our principal focus is on star and planet formation, although we also regularly discuss articles on the interstellar medium. We will meet every Wednesday during the '07-'08 school year, at 11:00 in Phillips auditorium, 60 Garden St. [city map & another]. Occasionally, because of space issues, we will meet in the M-340 conference room on the 3rd floor of 160 Concord St.

Coffee and cookies are provided, funded by passing the hat and some wheedling. Generous donations may lead to sweeter provisions. If you are looking for ideas for papers to present, a good place to start is the star formation newsletter and astro-ph.

Judging by our current attendence, we suggest that you make ~20 copies of the paper and/or handout for distribution.

Please sign up and remember the journal club motto: "It is easier to criticize than to be correct." Anyone who can find the Latin translation of this phrase will be rewarded with *extra free* coffee or cookies at the next journal club.
