Prof Sormani and Prof Khuri (who is visiting CUNY this summer) have a reading seminar on papers related to intrinsic flat convergence and manifolds with nonnegative scalar curvature. A related survey article may be found here and a related talk may be found here. The meetings are casual and there is much discussion afterwards. We meet in the Math Dept Thesis Room.
