In each session, 1-2 students will be selected to present a scientific publication identified the previous week by the course organizers, and chair the subsequent discussion. All students will be required to read all papers, answer specific questions related to the paper in advance of the session, and actively engage in the discussion. |

To learn how to concisely summarise and present research papers and actively discuss findings and implications with peers.
