October 2013: LOCALSTAR project makes 7 page spread in the October 2013 edition of Astronomy and Geophysics: see article
December 2013: first papers on PAWS (Plateau de Bure Whirlpool Survey) published, involving scientists from MPIA, NRAO, Exeter, IRAM and a number of other institutes, see MPIA press release 'Cloud atlas reshapes astronomers' views of stellar birthplaces.'
December 2013: major PPVI review on molecular clouds accepted and in press.
January 2014: Simulations predict small stellar age spreads in spiral arm GMCs, and that age spreads may be a clue to spiral structure, see MNRAS Letter.
March 2014: LOCALSTAR appears in article in American Scientist.
October 2014: LOCALSTAR en francais! See Pour la Science article on our research.
November 2014: Moving on from turbulent spheres! LOCALSTAR simulates star formation in GMCs from galaxy simulations, and shows a clear dependency on the galactic dynamics, which is not a feature of the typical turbulent sphere / box models. See our MNRAS Letter.
