[Spectroscopy.nanoscience] Guidelines for the seminar presentations and shared objective

[sara]

Dear colleagues,

We are about to start the next semester's seminar series, and I'd like 
to offer a quick refresher on our seminar objectives and guidelines.

The primary goal of these seminars is to provide a platform for sharing 
the latest research endeavors within the groups of our program and 
fostering fruitful discussions. To ensure that we achieve this aim 
effectively, it's necessary that we adhere to the following presentation 
guidelines:

1. Presentation Length. Each presentation should be kept within a 
maximum duration of 20 minutes. This timeframe allows ample room for 
questions and robust discussions.

2. Audience Adaptability. Given the interdisciplinary nature of our 
program, it's crucial that presentations are crafted with a broad 
audience in mind. This entails providing a comprehensive and didactic  
introduction that elucidates the aim and significance of your research, 
outlining the methodologies employed, and offering clear explanations of 
the results. This will ensure that all the people follow the 
presentation and will facilite the active participation in the 
discussion.

In the program, we have a broad range of backgrounds, which is a unique 
opportunity to leverage different perspectives and insights for each 
project. I encourage everyone to actively participate in discussions and 
questions, regardless of their level of familiarity with the topic. Even 
the simple question you can have will bring an intriguing discussion and 
shed new light on the research at hand. So, use these seminars for this.

Lastly, I encourage attendance at these seminars even if the background 
of the topics is far from your research field. The speakers invest time 
and effort into preparing their presentations; your presence 
demonstrates support and fosters a collaborative atmosphere.

Overall, I think we are doing well!! So, before finalizing, I want to 
thank you for your participation and the quality of the presentations 
overall. Let's continue sharing our time and science in the next 
semester!!

See you soon!
Sara
