CosmoCoffee and Survey Lunch are informal group events during the semester.
CosmoCoffee is organized by postdocs of the lab. It is our 1h/week session on reviewing cosmology and data analysis/ML papers and to discuss within the group. We try to cover at least 4 papers in depth and then discuss other general news of interest for the group.
Survey Lunch is an informal lunch meeting where our group shares information about current events in the different surveys we are involved in (DES, DESI, Roman, LSST, SPHEREx, and beyond). Given that not everyone is in every survey this shared information enables cross-survey thinking on projects and synergies.
