Welcome to PhDBS!

What is PhDBS?

We docsiders are doctoral students from the iSchool.

We decided to try a weekly mtg for a PhD Bull Session (and PhDBS sort of stuck) to be held on Fridays from 1-2 +-. It can be a forum for presenting research at any stage, discussing the mechanics of the program (presenting or submitting papers, annual reviews, etc) or a general discussion of a question. All docs are welcome and encouraged and faculty will be allowed as well. At the very least it will get some of us into the same space every once in awhile.

--A. M.

Basically, the plan is to have Friday get-togethers where we can have discussions, listen to faculty talk about research, or basically do things that we think are interesting.
