Meetup 7/12/14

[Anthony Rose]

Hi everyone,

In case anyone from this group either didn't attend the last meeting or hasn't seen the thread on LW then there are plans for a meeting this Saturday (7/12), at the Salento in the Brochstein Pavilion at Rice University at 2pm.

Hopefully see you there.

Anthony.

Does anyone else feel like trying to get this meeting a little bit more structured?

For example, something as simple as brief but *prepared* self-introductions covering your interests (related or unrelated to LW) and anything else about yourself that you might consider worth a mention. We partially covered it last time but it was pretty chaotic.

Or maybe someone even wants to give a brief talk about something they find exciting. Back in the day Jon used to educate us in computational neroscience, which was extremely interesting.

Also, on getting there:

The map on LW is not completely accurate, this is the actual location:

I think this would be a good thing. 

Another idea might be to decide ahead of each meetup on a few topics for discussion to allow some time to prepare, research and think about things for some time before discussing with each other.

Will try to make it, cannot be sure.
