 Pizza Lunch, Fall 2010
 
-= Astronomy Colloquium / Fall 2010 =
+Pizza lunch is a proud and venerable tradition of the Columbia Astronomy department, whose only constant seems to be pizza and announcements. In Fall 2010, the format for topics of discussions has changed a bit, under the iron fist and velvet glove of Josh Peek and Ryan Joung, respectively. Three or four presenters will be scheduled each week to guide discussions or presentations on topics of their choosing. Each presenter is expected to speak / guide discussion for roughly 15 minutes. The presentations should fit one or more of the following descriptions:
 
-Talks are held in Pupin 329, beginning at 4:15pm, and are followed by a wine and cheese reception in the 14th floor library.
+— Casual, but well researched, discussions and questions about topics relevant to astronomy today. The speaker need not get up from his or her seat, and discussions do not need to have visual aides.
+— Presentations of the author's recent work, with a focus on interesting, provocative results. Presenters are encouraged to pose genuine questions to the group. Presenters are strongly encouraged to limit themselves to presenting 3 relevant figures from their work.
+— Presentations of the recent work of others, with a focus on interesting, provocative results. Presenters are encouraged to pose genuine questions to the group. Presenters are strongly encouraged to limit themselves to presenting 3 relevant figures from the work.
