Joint Organic Group Meetings

Meetings are held in room Eberly 228 from 4-5 PM unless otherwise noted.

When planning your presentation, keep the following guidelines in mind: focus on methodologies, strategies & concepts, not extensive discussion of every detail; this should be a general presentation, not a subgroup meeting. Avoid repetitions. Provide a concise analysis of the problem, a scientific hypothesis, and a solution. Compare your accomplishments to the state-of-art of your field.
