From Exoplanet Reading Group
Sign up here for the email list, if you are local and want to hear about meeting announcements.
Meetings are usually in the upper geosci conference room (Hinds 451). They take place generally on Mondays at 3 pm.
Other exoplanet-themed talks and events at UChicago, beyond this reading group, are shown in double brackets.
