JUNIOR'S CORNER
- Message from Junior representatives (Carolina, Hannah, Luca):
- Statistics and Dinner: During the upcoming ALICE Physics Week we will host the second part of the series "Practical Statistics@Colliders" held by Davide Pagano from the statistics group, both at CERN and on Zoom (recording of first part). The event will be held in the council room on 27 July 27 from 6:30 to 7:30 pm and it will be open for juniors only. Following the event we will distribute tickets to have dinner all together in R1.
In case you have any general or analysis specific interests or questions related to statistics, please let us know by answering this survey. This will help Davide to make his talk as useful as possible.
We hope to see many of you there!
- We are happy to announce the start of the new Juniors Mattermost channel:
We invite all juniors to connect and exchange via this channel, be it work-related or about any other matters!
We also take the chance to readvertise the existing Juniors Discord server, which is meant for all kind of communication.
Have fun connecting!
