The nights may be drawing in, but free pizza and R are here to keep the winter blues at bay. Join us on Friday 22nd November for our next informal meetup. Meet at 18:00 for free food and drink in the new Mathematical Sciences building at the University of Warwick. Then talks will start around 18:15 in room MB0.08 (ground floor).
