September 19, 2006
The first Aerocenter Roundtable Paper Discussion Session was held on Tuesday, September 19 at 11:00 in Building 33, Room F225. Although the initial motivation was to try to work with recently published papers of great scientific interest from authors outside of the Aerocenter community, in this first session we discussed one of the latest works by Dr. Yoram Kaufman, which was published recently in Science. Click here to read the abstract and full text. The session was well attended and the discussion was very lively.

If you have any suggestions of topics or particular papers that would be of interest, please send an email to Dr. Santiago Gasso. The sessions are planned at least once a month, so check our Latest News Section for announcements of future sessions.
