Group discussion meetings
Overview
ESMG meeting are 4pm Thursdays in the LGMAC seminar room. These alternate between general meetings with a go-round and talks by one of the group; the latter are organised with this wiki.
Suggested guidelines for presenters
- Very informal talks with lots of discussion
- Have about 20–30 minutes of stuff to talk about.
- Now the group is so big, projected presentations may help.
- Use the whiteboard for impromptu diagrams / maths.
