Developmental Seminar
Meets on Fridays, 1:30, in Psych 137C

Developmental Seminar is an opportunity for students, post-docs, and faculty to become familiar with one another's research, both past and ongoing. Sometimes people also want to use the group as a sounding board for a new talk to be delivered elsewhere. Ideally, everyone will give a brief initial presentation of their research -- 1/4, 1/2, or 1 hour, depending on the speaker's needs -- and thus allowing everyone to keep up with progress in each line of research through "data blitzes" --days on which several people each present one slide of one significant finding or design change or anything else relevant from their research, and explain it to the group in 5-10 minutes.
