Welcome current and new members! The first RA9 meeting of the Winter 2022-23 semester will be split into two parts. In the first hour, we will discuss our academic focus, past and present activities, and have an open dialogue about future plans. We will then have a break, followed by a reading group session, where we will exchange our thoughts, ideas, and overall impressions of three articles, in preparation for Prof. Timo Maran's Keynote lecture and masterclass on October 25 and 26. Current members will lead this conversation by summarizing each paper before inviting others to contribute. 
3-4pm - Introduction to RA9
4-4:30pm - BREAK
4:30 - 6pm - Reading Group Session
