​The goal? Simple. Meet up at the park, yap about a paper for a few minutes. We discuss and enjoy the summer weather.

​Low stakes, come by and stay for as long as you'd like. We will have some printed out copies of the paper if you'd like to follow along. Feel free to print your own!

​We welcome community presenters! If you found an interesting paper that you want to talk about, let us know and we will give you time to present.

​FAQs:

​What if it rains?

• ​We will cancel the event if it rains.
