Hi everyone! Team SLiThEr has been hard at work putting together a schedule of SLiThErs for the fall semester and while I might be biased, I think we've done a great job. What's a SLiThEr? A roughly hour log online meeting in which we have a speaker present for 30-40 minutes and then a discussion. You can see our previous SLiThErs here. We are going to be covering a wide range of topics this semester that we think the community will really appreciate. The dates, times, presenters and topics are listed below. We will post sign-ups as comments on this post, on our discord server and through social media. We hope to see many of you at these exciting events and as always, they will be recorded and posted to our YouTube channel.
