UW PLSE meetings

There’s an aggregated calendar with all the meetings on it, and an iCal (.ics) URL. If you want some event(s) on your own calendar, ask a faculty member to add you as a guest, and you will receive an invitation you can accept.

Weekly meetings

Every week, PLSE Lunch involves 30 minutes of chit-chat and eating, followed by 1 hour of presentations about current research (from PLSE members or outside researchers).

Every week, PLSE Tea is a casual half hour of tea and snacks in the lab.

Every week, two reading groups meet; you may attend both, one, or neither. You may get credit for coming to reading group if you’re a student at UW, but you don’t need to be registered for the course to attend. Attending reading group is a great way to learn about state-of-the-art research and brainstorm new research ideas.

For PLRG, you should spend at least one hour reading the paper. For SERG, you should read the paper (in its entirety, or as much as you understand). If you don’t fully understand a paper, that’s fine! Come to reading group with questions.

If you’ve never read an academic paper before, don’t worry! That’s how everyone started. Questions during the reading group are welcome.

PLRG also has a shared reading session earlier in the week (PLRG Reading), where the group reads the paper together – come to either or both.
