Every month we pick and discuss a paper online, in English. We expect everyone to read the paper beforehand. We will try our best to invite one of the paper authors for a Q&A session.
Anyone can add a comment the sessions's document on GDrive with questions or things that are worth clarifying.
Monthly, on Fridays
