Empirical Micro Reading Group

= Rules =
 * Each meeting lasts 75 minutes. The presenter is responsible for handling the time.
 * Meetings start and finish on time.
 * You are required to read the paper in advance. A randomly selected student is called on to summarize the paper in 3 minutes.
 * Presenters: prepare with slides that answer the questions below and go into details as necessary. Begin your presentation with 3 summary slides.

= Questions = To prepare for the meetings, please try to answer the following questions about each paper we read.
 * 1) What are the big questions the paper tries to answer?
 * 2) How does the study design help answer these questions?
 * 3) What are the most interesting findings?
 * 4) What did you learn about the world?

Please also select the one exhibit (figure or table) that summarizes the main point of paper most succinctly. Send it to Marta with a 4-sentence (this is not a hard constraint) summary of what we see so that she can post it on our blog.
