LaTeX workshop and Open podium student presentations in week 2

- On Tuesday (30th July): LaTeX workshop (phonology room) – make sure to bring a laptop.
- On Wednesday (31st July) and possibly Thursday (1st August), depending on how many are interested in presenting, we will have an Open podium (syntax room). You can present some of your work, discuss it, ask for suggestions in the form of a short talk (10 minutes + 5 min questions/feedback). Time permitting in principle everybody will be included (on a first-come-first-served basis). The schedule can be found here.
