Why is your work cool?

Each team gives the talk. The milestone is a venue and a date for the write-up, not applause.

Milestone · Talk delivered, venue and date set for the write-up

Every team gives a short talk on its result. The audience is the other teams and invited guests, and the standard is the one the course has used all along: the question in one sentence, the number with its interval, the control on the plot, and what would have falsified it. A careful negative result presented well is a success, and at least one team usually has one.

The session ends with each team naming where the write-up goes next and when. A workshop deadline, a blog post with a date, or a preprint. The course continues as an asynchronous writing tail for teams that commit to a venue.

What you will do

  • Give a ten-minute talk with the figure from week six and the claims from week seven.
  • Take questions from the room and record the ones you could not answer.
  • Choose a venue and a date for the write-up.

What you leave with

  • A talk you have given once and can give again.
  • A commitment: venue, date, and the list of what the draft still needs.

Materials

Notebooks and slides are released to each cohort at the start of the session.
