CRL Talks

Welcome to Winter Quarter CRL Talks

Hello CRLers! 

We hope you had a great break and are ready to start a new quarter!  We are sending this notification for two reasons:

  1. To make sure you block out EVEN Week Fridays from 11am-12pm for CRL in your schedule
  2. To ask for speakers for this quarter! 

Speakers have given everything from practice talks for conferences, job talks, or degree requirements to any new research they want feedback from the CRL community on!  Talks are typically 45 min with ~10 min for questions.  We love hearing from new grad students and faculty, but you are always welcome to present again!  If you, anyone in your lab, or anyone visiting you is interested please let me know so I can arrange dates with them!

If you have someone you would like to hear from, I always enjoy suggestions of who to invite to speak as well!

We have been hoping to encourage more in-person participation/presentation, but there is a Zoom option available for those unable to join in person!

The following are the even week Fridays we are looking to fill!
Week 2- January 17
Week 4- January 31
Week 6- February 14 (I will try to get some Valentines day snacks for that day!)
Week 8- February 28
Week 9- March 7 (Save the Date for a special CRL event!)
Week 10- March 14 (Can be reserved for another Grad Data Blast session if there is interest! Grad Data Blast sessions have been 2-3 10-15 min presentations from Grads who might not have a full 45 min of research to talk about)

Additional Announcements!
CRL ASL-Interpreter Request Form: Please fill this out prior to any talk you would like to attend but require ASL interpreters. We will do our best to provide them! If you are planning on coming to a CRL talk and are able to request interpreters for all those who need it, please let us know as well!
