<h3>Description/Motivation (from <a href='http://badgrads.berkeley.edu/doku.php?id=graduate_student_postdoc_seminar'>UC Berkeley's GSPS page</a>):</h3>
<ul>
<li>GSPS is a place where students and postdocs can practice giving talks or share information and knowledge that others might not have.</li>
<li>Topics of the presentations can be just about anything: their own research (either completed or commencing), career advancement and advice,
pedagogy and teaching, practice/job talks, software packages/languages and apps, topics that aren't usually covered in other seminars, etc.</li>
<li>GSPS meets every other week during the semester (modulo University holidays).</li>
<li>There will be one main presentation/talk/workshop each session, led by one to a few people.</li>
<li>Presentations should leave plenty of time for group work and/or discussion and questions.</li>
<li>Presentations should emphasize background material so everyone is on the same page.</li>
<li><b>No faculty allowed.</b> Only graduate students, postdocs, and early career research staff are allowed.</li>
<li>GSPS is a good place to:
<ul>
<li>promote community between grad students and postdocs</li>
<li>practice speaking and discussing your research</li>
<li>feel comfortable asking lots of questions</li>
<li>learn about topics outside your own research</li>
<li>learn about new techniques and tools for research</li>
<li>learn about applicable non-science topics</li>
</ul></li>
<li>If you would like feedback on your presentation, the organizer(s) would be happy to take notes and discuss it with you afterwards (and/or ask other audience members to do so).</li>
</ul>
<p>Organizers: Tyler Nelson (tyler{dot}nelson{at}utexas{dot}edu). Webmaster: Samuel Factor (sfactor{at}utexas{dot}edu). Please contact us if you have questions, comments, complaints, or requests for <a href='#topics'>future topics</a> or snacks and thanks for participating in GSPS!</p>
<p>GSPS Founding Father: Jeffrey Silverman (JSilverman{at}astro{dot}as{dot}utexas{dot}edu)</p>
