The LAPLACE Astrobiology Journal Club is a weekly meeting for Tucson's astrobiology community.
Join us discussing and reviewing interesting results and learn about other disciplines.

Astrobiology Lunches: On the last Friday (12-1pm) of each month we have a very informal lunch together discussing
astrobiology-related topics; the lunches are sponsored by LAPLACE and typically attract 40-50 people.
