Description / Motivation
- GSPS meets weekly; each hour features a talk by one grad student and one postdoc on their own research.
- Talks should be ~20 minutes + 5 minutes for questions.
- Speakers can present work that is fully complete all the way through work in just the beginning stages.
- Please emphasize background material.
- (Practice qual talks / job talks are fine to present.)
- No faculty allowed.
- GSPS is a good place to…
- promote community between students and postdocs
- practice speaking and discussing your research
- feel comfortable asking lots of questions
- learn about topics outside your own research
- If you would like feedback on your presentation, the organizers would be happy to take notes and discuss it with you afterwards (and/or ask other audience members to do so).
Organizers: Nathan Roth and Aaron Lee (please contact us if you have questions)
Thanks for participating in GSPS!
