Education and community outreach

The morning review lectures are an integral part of MYRES and will be of great educational value for both the attendees and the speakers. While the educational component will not necessarily be better for MYRES just because instructors are more junior, we will attempt to provide enough incentives and an additional layer of peer-review for lecture materials to attain quality teaching. Furthermore, junior people can be expected to be better able to relate to the problems that might arise in the understanding of the issues, having themselves by necessity only comparatively recently understood the relevant problems and mastered conceptual hurdles. The instructors themselves will benefit from the preparation for MYRES as they will have to make an effort to communicate ideas across different fields, a skill whose mastery is rare and of great value.
