Talks for extra credit

Write up a one-page summary of any of these talks for extra credit (equivalent to one homework assignment).

Please contact us if you see others that look good: the talk must be a primary research talk.

There will be more throughout the semester. But please plan to attend one before Thanksgiving; we cannot guarantee that there will be appropriate talks late in the semester, so you might be out of luck if you wait. Thanks.
