I am a co-organizer of the String Theory Journal Club which meets once a week to discuss topics of interest in String Theory. You can visit the Journal Club page here. I collect below all my notes from my Journal Club talks. Please note that I wrote these notes while learning about the subject myself so they are not guaranteed to be error-free.
