If anyone wants to volunteer to present the paper shortly, that would be great!
Besides, it is mandatory to read the paper, since the discussion will be specifically based on the paper of each reading session.

First 30 minutes we will discuss key points from the paper. Then, we will move on to elaborate, criticize or analyze the ideas stated and connect it to the overall picture of the reading group.
