Hi all,
We are pleased to invite you to the 4th Learning Theory Alliance Mentorship
workshop <https://let-all.com/fall22.html> in collaboration with FODSI
<https://fodsi.us/>, to be held virtually on October 26-27, 2022. The
workshop is free.
The workshop is intended for upper-level undergraduate and all-level
graduate students as well as postdoctoral researchers. No prior research
experience in the field is expected. We have several planned events
including:
- Two “how-to” talks:
- How to start your research journey (how to find your first research
opportunity and navigate your first few research projects)
- How to expand your research profile (how to decide what to work on,
come up with a project, and develop a research vision)
- A panel that focuses on the evolution of a project, thesis, and career
- A social hour with mentoring tables
Our lineup includes: Hamsa Bastani, Sébastien Bubeck, Clément Canonne,
Stefanie Jegelka, Jelani Nelson, Behnam Neyshabur, Emma Pierson, Chara
Podimata, Jacob Steinhardt, and Vasilis Syrgkanis.
