Logistics:

• For each week going forward: if you are either presenting or critiquing, you don’t need to do extra reading (since you are already expected to read one paper). Otherwise, please read at least one paper from the week and post your own summary in your “research diary.”

• For those critiquing: instead of listing all the pros and cons you noticed, frame your findings as 1–2 questions you would ask the presenter at a conference. If your main question has already been raised by others, ask your next best question.

• For the presenter: take the role of the paper’s author and provide the best possible “defense” in response to the question.
