Well, know you can find out, from the horses' mouth

thursday afternoon was dedicated to a rapid fire "so, what have the graduate students been up to" as five of the students here at the program gave presentations on their research projects and what they've been up to in the last few weeks

good practise for them, and a learning experience all round
no pressure, just because about 87.3941% of their likely future employers were in the room, the atmosphere here is very collegial and laid back
