How this works
We meet once a month from September to May and discuss 4 papers. Training programs select papers on a rotating basis. A trainee presents the paper and a faculty member leads the discussion.
At various times, we are honored to be joined by guest discussants. They are senior authors or subject matter experts of the papers selected for discussion.
This month's papers can be found here.
Check out the archives for a list of past papers and guest discussants.
