Monthly Recurring Events
The (under)graduate students seminar series organized by Kevin Nota (MPI-EVA, Leipzig, Germany). Monthly seminars, where students can give short presentations, ask questions, and socialize with peers. Since we are covering the whole globe with the society, we have split up the meetings into two time zones, with each zone having a local coordinator. We will have the meeting on the first Thursday of every month. To be added to the mailing list, contact one of the following coordinators:
Americas: Jordan Von Eggers (University of Wyoming)
Europe/Africa: Inès Barrenechea (University of Geneva)
