I would be happy to walk through each of these papers and every other week get on a call and discuss them. I’ve been working on a paper which analyzes these different protocols. Would also love to have discussions about the papers at the end of the teaching sessions where we understand the paper in depth :slight_smile:

General format:
45 minutes teaching the paper.
15 - 30 minutes of questions / discussions at the end.

Sign up schedule for future calls!
Curious, what else would you guys like to add to the list and what would you all like to talk about next week on Sunday? (July 15th)(Shifting the call to July 15th to give people enough time to add suggested new topics)

This list looks great. I’d be happy to walk through the papers top to bottom. Unfortunatly, I am not sure if I can commit to the Sunday call, but I will try! Rather, I hope these talks will be recorded/published as they look like they will be very valuble.
Thank you!

I’m also happy to switch the days around to Saturday if that works better.

Sounds awesome, thanks for organizing it! Are you planning to do a Skype call where you share the screen (for the presentation?)

#6

How about Saturday 10am PDT? Also I’m going to try notebook or white board for the first time session. When I do these in person, I use a whiteboard. I’ll try different styles and see what everyone finds easiest and works best :slight_smile:
