| - | * Present a paper connecting to the previous day's or next week's colloquium | ||
| - | * Present a paper in a field that you're unfamiliar with and would like learn a bit more about | ||
| - | |||
| - | It's important that Journal Club appeal to as broad a cross-section of the department as | ||
| - | possible, so try to choose topics which will be accessible and interesting to those who | ||
| - | are nonexperts in them. | ||
