The purpose of the Seminar is to give graduate students practice in preparing and giving scientific presentations and reading scientific literature. Each student in the class will be asked to make a half-period or full-period presentation on a refereed journal article of interest. Some slots may be filled by Faculty Speakers. Selection of a topic (and guidance in preparing the talk) may be done with the advice of your research advisor or that of a faculty member in your area of interest. After giving a talk, one of the speakers will be asked to act as chair of the session the following week (with the responsibility of introducing the speakers, keeping the talk within the time limit, controlling the lights, recognizing questions from the audience, etc.).
