PRG is scheduled to meet this Monday 4/14 at Brian's place in Northampton. Instead of the usual presentation we will be trying something a little different, a "lightning paper discussion." The idea is that everyone comes with a paper in mind they have recently read to give a quick 5 minute synopsis of over dinner. It should be something you have already read for class, your research, etc. (no extra work required) and of course no handout or prepared speech is necessary. The goal is to share the important points of several papers in the time of a single meeting. I think ideally fairly current papers would be nice to discuss but anything goes.
