This semester, we will divide into four teams. In this case, the teams will provide a background session for the speaker. On the Thursday before the Colloquium, the speaker will give one of the biomath seminars. In past semesters, some speakers have provided context for their Friday seminar, some have presented a different topic, and some have held an informal session.

The teams will give a report by the end of the semester. This report will be a summary of the activities surrounding the teams focus topic.
