Thursday Journal Review and Research Meeting

On Thursdays, year-round (11:30 am), graduate students and staff meet to review new papers and discuss research topics in an informal context. Students discussing their topic present a very brief account of the status of their work and discussions and questions often lead to the resolution of specific problems ensues. The Journal Review sessions are attended by students and open to MPU members.
