Fall 2024
Group (Tuesdays 3:00 – 5:00 pm; CB110)
Proposal, thesis, and practice presentations are formal and should be in near-final form. Slides are complete, polished, and have references.
Research talks should give background and new results that highlight recent progress. Slides should be thoughtfully prepared, as they are the basis for future formal talks.
Literature talks should go in-depth into a topic, perhaps a single paper, with an critical analysis of the work done. The underlying science (e.g., mechanisms in a synthesis or methodology paper) should be emphasized. Make sure to explain the advance that makes the paper important. Select papers that are relevant and from leading journals, and then run by Ben for approval.
Remember that connecting to the display in CB110 is wonky. Ensure that your presentation works before the meeting so we can start on time each meeting time.
