Gamma Retreat 2022

Scientific workshop

The idea is to gain information on topics that are relevant in our field but no one of us is already expert on.

To achieve this we are going to form 4 groups.
Each group is assigned one topic and is provided with material that covers that topic.
The groups are supposed to work through this material and create summary slides that will afterwards be presented to the others.

Teams:

Topic 1 corresponds to team 1 and so on and so forth.

Team 1:

• Rodrigo
• Tim
• Naomi

Team 2:

• Sam

Team 3:

Team 4:

• Andi Z
• Thomas
