Welcome to the Graduates Reminisce Online On Topology (GROOT) Summer Seminar.
The goal of this online seminar is to provide a regular meeting place for graduate students to share research and expository talks over the summer as well as some time to network and socialize with peers. All incoming, current, and recently graduated grad students are welcome to participate, and you can sign up here.
If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to one of the organizers: Julie Rasmusen or Zack Garza.
The full schedule, including titles and abstracts, can be found here.
If you missed a talk, don't worry - many of the talks are recorded and uploaded to YouTube, and you can find the GROOT channel here!

Prepare a 50 min talk with an additional 10 min for questions. Format is completely up to you, but should be Zoom and microphone friendly.
Keep in mind participants in this seminar share a wide range of research interests. Aim to include background making your main ideas follow-able and interesting to those only vaguely familiar with your topic, while also including additional detail for more knowledgeable participants.
Log on to Zoom 5-10 minutes early so we can make sure all technology is running smoothly.
If you are interested in giving a talk, but not sure about on which topic, then have a look at the list below of topics which participants have suggested!
