Galaxy Group Meetings

The Galaxies Group hosts lunch meetings every Thursday from 13:00 to 14:00 in room 301.

  1. If you have any question about the Galaxies Group Meetings, please contact Kate Rowlands (ker7).


Galaxy lunch will usually be in the format of a journal club, so everyone is encouraged to bring a paper they would like to summarize to the rest of the group. If you are looking for interesting papers to present check out our private CiteULike and Benty Fields groups where we post the papers we want to discuss.


Other formats we have:

  • Review article : presented in detail by our first-year PhD students.

  • Plots: PhD students in particular are encouraged to bring a plot they have recently made. Staff and postdocs will do their best to provide useful feedback and comments on these plots.

  • Talks: short talks to share some results or to practise for a conference.

  • Conference reviews: if a group member has recently attended a conference/workshop and there are some interesting results they want to summarize to the group, galaxies lunch is the ideal place to do it.
