Lunch and Learn
An event series for Kempner community members focused on introducing participants to new topics, as opposed to sharing individual research, to provide beginner-friendly on-ramps to various subjects while encouraging curiosity through open discussions.
This upcoming week’s Lunch and Learn will be on Monday, December 2nd at 12:00pm at the SEC 6.242 Kempner Institute Conference room. Kempner KURE student George Cai will be presenting “Information Theory“.
Please RSVP before Friday, November 29th at 3pm so that we can get a headcount for ordering food.
If you are interested in volunteering as a speaker, sign up here! We are looking for more speakers for next semester. If you’re excited, but unsure, we can help give tips and feedback!
If you have any questions or concerns, please contact ijones@g.harvard.edu.

The Kempner Institute lies at the intersection of NeuroAI research, requiring that we all learn a common interdisciplinary language to generate ideas at this fruitful intersection. With this in mind, “Lunch and Learn” aims to establish an informal setting where participants can explore new topics, ask questions, and practice public speaking skills in a psychologically safe environment. The event series will focus on introducing participants to new topics, as opposed to sharing individual research, to provide beginner-friendly on-ramps to various subjects while encouraging curiosity through open discussions.
This 1 hour, biweekly event will feature a 15-30 minute interactive whiteboard presentation followed by an open discussion. While topics for each session will be picked by a volunteer presenter, audience members are encouraged to be active participants in the discussion to promote communal learning. Because of this, volunteer presenters need not be “experts” to present!
