XXXI Midwest Theory Get-Together
28-29 September 2018

This XXXIst meeting in the series is being organised by Dean Lee ([email protected]) from Michigan State University, East Lansing, MI

List of Registered Participants as of 28 September 2018.

• As usual, the meeting will start at 1:00 PM on the Friday, with presentations in the Auditorium of Building 203 at Argonne National Laboratory.

Presentations

The meeting will follow its standard format. Namely, at 1pm, those wishing to make a presentation will be invited to write their name and title on the blackboard. That complete, the Session Leader will select a speaker, and subsequently another. This process will continue until all presentations have been made.

The talks are limited to 10 minutes and may address recent publications, work in progress, or rough ideas.

Please prepare your talk for a laptop presentation in the following way:


1. No more than eight slides;
   
2. File must be a .pdf;
   
3. The file must be emailed to Dean Lee ([email protected]) and MUST REACH HIM NO LATER THAN 5 PM ON THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 27. Files arriving later will not be accepted. By following this procedure we can load all laptop-based presentations onto one computer, and facilitate smooth transitions between the talks.
