2024-2025 Journals Club
The purpose of the Journals Club is to give graduate students experience at making presentations and fielding questions, to give the presenter a chance to delve into new and interesting material, and to give other students a chance to learn about and discuss these papers. Each presenter should aim for a 15 to 20 minute presentation with 5 minutes for questions/discussion. The idea is not to present your own research, but to find interesting results from current journals (ideally within the last year, but there is some flexibility here). Check with your supervisor for more guidance, if needed. Also, ask your supervisor to provide feedback on your presentation, as this will help you to improve in the future.
All Journals Club talks are held on Wednesdays at 12:30pm in Stirling Hall 501 unless otherwise noted.
