About Lunch and Learn
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 features 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!
