The meetings are weekly, 1-hour long sessions, consisting of one 15-minute paper talk with a 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 will have short (<5 min) presentations on papers that are not older than two weeks. The goal of the speaker should be to give a motivation in a broader context (why was the paper written? what is the big science question that motivated the paper?) and to discuss one or two plots. The speakers will be selected randomly during the JC by means of an oracle. The speaker of the first part will not be picked by the oracle. If there is a good reason, it is of course possible to let the organisers know that they want to be removed from the random oracle part. The goal is to practice reading papers and presenting to others without over-preparing. So, it is not expected that the person who presents has read the paper fully, but it can be enough to read for example abstract, figure captions and conclusions.
