Home | Journal Club | Spring 2008 Schedule
Nuclear Astrophysics is in essence an interdisciplinary field. We, young and naive researchers, often feel overwhelmed by the broad scope of the topics covered by the field. The goal of the JINA Astrophysics Club is to take advantage of the expertise that JINA brings to MSU, and begin to remedy this situation. The JINA Astrophysics Club consists of two main activities:
All grad student and post-docs from the NSCL and the PA department are welcome to join! Those interested should contact Alfredo Estrade (estrade 'at' nscl.msu.edu).
