Papers We Love: Holiday Edition ☃️

Get excited about the new year by discussing some Papers We Love!

This month, our meeting will be a little different. Instead of a structured presentation, we'll enjoy some pizza, cookies, and conversation. If you have a side project that you want to share, bring your laptop! If you've read a great paper recently, we'd love to hear about it! Otherwise, just show up ready to talk with others who love to learn.

// Directions

CustomInk Cafe (3rd Floor)
Mosaic District, 2910 District Ave #300
Fairfax, VA 22031

When you get here you can come in via the patio. Don't be scared by the metal gate and sign. It's accessible via the outside stairs near True Food. There is a parking garage next door for those coming by vehicle. And, there is a walkway to the patio on the 3rd floor of the garage nearest moms organic market.

Metro: The Dunn Loring metro station is about 0.7 miles from our meetup location. It’s very walkable, but if you’d prefer a bus, the 402 Southbound and 1A/1B/1C Westbound leave from Dunn Loring Station about every 5-10 minutes (see a schedule for more detailed timetable).

If you're late, we totally understand–please still come! (via the patio is best) Just be sure to slip in quietly if a speaker is presenting.
