DAWN

Journal Club

  • When

    • Mondays 10:30–11:00.

  • Where

  • What

    • Two papers related to DAWN's research are presented at each session.

  • How

    • We take turns at presenting papers.
    • You will get a reminder one week before.
    • If you're unable to present, please reach out to a colleague (e.g. the next on the list; see below) in order to swap.

  • Why

    • You need to read that paper anyway. This is a great opportunity to 1) pull yourself together and get it done, and 2) making your colleagues happy by saving them the time.
    • You're welcome.

    Introduction

    The purpose of the journal club is to discuss recent papers in fields related to DAWN's research fields, i.e. high-redshift galaxy evolution, massive galaxies, quenching, the interstellar medium, reionization, simulations, existing and upcoming surveys with HST, ALMA, Euclid and JWST, and more.

    The journal club is for everyone (in particular also DARKers). You're more than welcome to just follow the discussions, but you're also encouraged to occasionally present papers, and to act as a moderator (see below).

    If you're a DAWNer, you can find the Zoom link here.

    Joining or leaving the Journal Club

    • Simply contact the Journal Club admin and ask him to put you on the mailing list.
    • If you're a DAWN'er, you are automatically a member.
    • If you want to be taken off the list of presenters, that's okay, just contact the admin.

    Format

    We meet every Monday at 10:30 for 30 minutes. At NBI, we meet in the lounge area, and at DTU we meet in Room 129.  You can also join via Zoom. Please log in a few minutes before (!).

    During each session we will discuss two articles, presented by two of us.

    Presenting is voluntary

    You will receive an email two weeks before it's your turn to present, and again one week before. If for any reason you don't want to present, that's no problem; just reach out to a colleague, e.g. the next on the list below. If you know you never ever want to present, that's also fine, just ask the admin to be taken off the list.

    What is (not) expected?

    Presenting a paper should not be a comprehensive lecture on the paper. You're not even expected to read it all in detail, or to be able to answer all questions. Focus on the parts that you find interesting. Most importantly, please make sure that

    • You introduce some sort of background for the people that don't work in this field,
    • The whole discussion, including both your presentation and a possible subsequent discussion, is no longer than 15 minutes, and
    • The discussion doesn't diverge into details that only two people find interesting.

    List of presenters

    Please keep an eye on this list to see when your time is approaching. The list is roughly alphabetical, but sometimes people swap, so really it's not.

    Note also that the list is susceptible to small changes on timescales longer than the order of a month.

    Optional: using Benty Fields to organize your papers

    • We no longer use the journal club organizer "Benty Fields" to manage our sessions (mainly because of mailing list issues), but you can still use it to see what papers others are interested in, read and save papers, and let their AI decide which papers are featured for you. Here's how to sign up:
    1. Register at Benty Fields.
    2. Go through 7 steps of creating a profile. You can skip any of these fields if you wish.
    3. Click Journal Club → Join Journal Club → DAWN Journal Club.
    4. Wait patiently to be accepted.

    You can influence the Journal Club to some extent by voting on papers at Benty Fields.

    Voting on a paper does not mean that you volunteer to present.
