In response to our call, we received a large number of excellent submissions. Based on these, we put together an exciting seminar schedule, starting in two weeks from now, on Sep 15 (presenter Dale Whittington, UNC). The schedule is copied below and available at https://www.erikansink.com/swell/.
As before, seminars will be organized on Tuesdays at 11:30AM Eastern Time (5:30PM CEST) using Zoom and you will receive seminar reminders including Zoom links a few days prior to each seminar. There are two changes compared to the previous SWELL season. One is that seminars are scheduled bi-weekly. The second change is that we move from Zoom "webinar" to "meeting" format, which will allow participants to see who else is in the seminar, and may lower the threshold to participate in the Q&A.
