Wednesday Morning Talks

Every Wednesday at 0930 we have short presentation (~10 min) by a BiRC researcher. The presentation and the following questions should take no longer than to 0950. Aim for a ~10 minute presentation, which will leave time questions. You will (hopefully) get a reminder about your upcoming presentation about a week before, but you should also keep an eye on this list (or its physical copy on the board in the BiRC hallway). If you swap with someone, then please let me know such that the list can be updated.

The talks are organized by Christian Storm Pedersen.
