1st Tuesday Journal-Paper Club: Xmas 2014 meeting

---

This month's meeting of the journal-paper club, in keeping with the yuletide spirit, will be a more (even more) relaxed affair. There'll be no paper presentation. Instead, we'll use it for a little bit of planning for the New Year. If you have an ambition to be a reader-leader for us in 2015, this is your chance to be put on the schedule. And if you haven't already met him, come along and meet the Chair-Elect of our SPS/ComSoc Chapter, Prof. Andrew Bradley.

*About the 1st Tuesday Journal-Paper Club:* the idea is to meet regularly, usually on the 1st Tuesday of the month as the name suggests (inspired by the ABC TV series "1st Tuesday Book Club"). Each month, the participants would agree on a highly cited, 'top ten' or major-prize-winning article in an SPS or ComSoc journal (but not one of our own!). We would also select a Discussion Leader. Through the month, each of the participants would read the article. At the next meeting, the Discussion Leader would lead a discussion of that article, starting with his/her own appraisal. In this way, it is hoped that we could all broaden our understanding of the field and further develop a sense of community.

1st rule of 1st Tuesday Journal-Paper Club: tell everyone about 1st Tuesday Journal-Paper Club.
