SimPEG seminars

[lheagy]

In the SimPEG meeting on 2021-06-16, we talked about the idea of having monthly SimPEG seminars. Suggested format:

• 1 hour time-slot, recorded on zoom + posted to youtube
• suggest ~20 min talk from speaker (though can be flexible depending on speaker preferences).
• ~40min for discussion: questions on science, suggestions / questions for future developments with SimPEG
• speakers can choose if they want questions throughout or to be held until the end

This issue is for tracking the setup and kick-off of those!

• [ ] set up a curvenote project for abstracts & videos
• [ ] identify seminar champion
  • responsible for getting abstract, photo, bio from speakers each month + post on curvenote
  • create an associated notes document in curvenote for group notes during the presentation & discussion
  • host & record on zoom + after include the video in the curvenote
  • social media send-out: twitter + mail out

I am going to close this now that we have the SimPEG seminars in action! Feel free to create a new issue if you have suggestions as to how to improve these in the future!
