Monthly Nuclear Astrophysics Group Meeting
The monthly Nuclear Astrophysics Group meeting is held at 11 am on the first Wednesday of each month in the ISAC II Conference Room. Here, students and staff are encouraged to present physics topics for discussion, from current experimental or theoretical work that the Group are involved in, to interesting new journal articles.
