READING GROUP
At the heart of research lies a mountain of papers.
It is hard to keep up with the field individually, since breakthroughs are made and published every single day.
The reading group’s objective is to work together to make keeping up a manageable task. Every week, a person or a group of people present
a research paper or book chapter they find interesting. If you participate, you will have studied ~15 new papers through the semester!
ARCHIVE
Every week, usually on Thursdays from 8pm-9pm. Location in the table.
