The first monthly MOSAIC meeting brought the group together for a round of short flash talks, with six speakers each giving a five-minute introduction to their research. After each talk we left a few minutes for questions, then opened up a broader discussion of the common themes, methods, and research questions running across the group — the shared ground that MOSAIC was founded to explore.
