Tea Talk Schedule

The regular astro-ph coffee times (both on campus and at SLAC) consist of a discussion of recent hot papers, and a short talk from a member of the group - scheduled here.


The aims of the tea talk system are to raise awareness of each other's activities, and provide a stage for the presentation of interesting new results, an upcoming conference paper, or a particular problem that would best be tackled with help from other members of the group. By keeping the atmosphere friendly and informal, these talks hopefully help to improve communication across the group. The carrot is finding out what others are up to (and hopefully being entertained in the process). The stick is that everyone is expected to contribute at some point. Guidelines for giving tea talks can be found here . The current tea talk schedulers are Oliver Hahn and Matthew Kerr.

 

We have a number of mechanisms in place for making the astro-ph discussion efficient - this is important given the bewildering deluge of new papers being produced by the community! Guidelines for presenting a paper can be found here. There is a cosmocoffee message board of interesting papers to be discussed at tea time, please add papers you think will be interesting to the group! The message board managers can help you contribute to this list if you are new. If you want to bring a paper up for discussion, or feel you don't have the time or the expertise to explain it properly, you can suggest, in the comments field, some names from this list of expert postdoc reviewers who can read it for the group for next time. This is especially useful for busy faculty and keen-to-learn students!

All attendees are strongly encouraged to post their own papers too: here is a list of recent KIPAC papers.


We also have a forum for discussing articles in the general news about astrophysics and cosmology -  post links to newspapers, TV clips, blogs etc here!
