Article Readings

If you are the next one to hold an article reading, choose an article at least one week in advance and send a mail to all ATLAS members so the others can prepare it as well. You can choose an article by yourself or inspire yourself from the list at the bottom. It does not need to be an article, it can also be about a method, an equation or just a graph, something you have seen in a talk, heard others discussing it or you just dreamed about it.

If you have suggestions for papers, you can add them here, send a mail or a Skype message to Teresa and/or Basil.

If you cannot hold the paper meeting please notify Teresa and/or Basil as soon as possible.

Paper reading is scheduled every second week, don't hesitate to volunteer to show something in the week between. Also very short contributions are welcome.
