This is an occasional (sometimes weekly) workshop in which students and faculty exchange expertise in research techniques. In each workshop, someone leads the members through the basics of some technique (often software). From Praat to LaTeX, from statistical software to statistical thinking - we try to cover anything that will be of use to those doing research. (the idea of having these workshops was suggested by Tyler Peterson)
