Solar and Magnetospheric Theory Group : Wednesday Talks


The format of the Group's Wednesday Talks is the same as last year. At the present time only whole group meetings are planned. Each talk will take place at 1.30 pm in Room 3B of the School of Mathematics and Statistics.If you have visitors planned for this session and would like them to give a talk, please email me details as soon as possible. For suggested speakers, visiting speakers, amendments, equipment required etc, send me an email (ineke'at'mcs.st-and.ac.uk). Some basic guidelines for giving talks are noted below.

Notes: Below are some guidelines for giving talks:

1. Give a 10-15 minutes introduction setting the scene and discussing the basics (both observational and theoretical) of your work.

2. Consider giving a talk in which you review other people's work. This not only helps you understand the work better, it may also bring a more critical appraisal of the work to light.

3. Aim to keep the talk to 45 (!!) minutes, so there is plenty of time for questions and discussions. Speakers who are in danger of running over time will be asked to round up their talk.
