General guidelines and info

The meetings are weekly, 1-hour long sessions, consisting of one 15-minute paper talk, 15-minute discussion, and a 30-minute free discussion session on recent arXiv papers.
The paper in the first half is freely chosen by the person leading the discussion.
In the second half hour, we have short (<5 min) presentations on papers not older than two weeks. The goal is to give motivation in a broader context (why the paper was written, the big science question) and discuss one or two plots. Speakers are selected randomly by an oracle. Exceptions can be requested to organizers. The goal is to practice reading and presenting papers without over-preparing.
