Colleen Cranmer (DFM-supported student at the University of Ottawa) suggested to us that she would be interested in helping facilitate these meetings as part of her RA work this semester, and states that it would be a useful place for DFM students to get advice or insights to guide their research.
I note that some of these meetings could be hosted by research teams, though we would still need some central work to be done in putting together a schedule, creating topics, etc. We would also need some secretarial help, like a writing up of key discussion points (to be shared on the project wiki and/or blog), or putting together documents such as research instruments or a summary of recent articles that could anchor the discussions at some of these meetings.
EDIT: I'm wondering if our other students have thoughts on meetings and communications, including what topics and platforms would be most helpful? @AklimaAkter, @Madu, @Mahfuzar Rahman, @NAlmine, @Wae Win, ...
