We plan to focus on themes more than disciplines, and to broadly educate each other. It will therefore be helpful that speakers design their presentations after consulting with each other. The weekend recess for instructors is intended to provide a forum for this exchange, and help the presenters to work out a comprehensive and well orchestrated program. The workshop recess will also be dedicated to the preparation and revision of instructional material such as lecture slides and other visuals.
We will stipulate the inspection of each presenter's preliminary slides and figures to ensure quality of instructional material by an informal peer-review process among the presenters. Draft lecture outlines lectures will also be made available on the MYRES website in advance of the meeting to allow input from the wider community. The tutorials and their preparation itself should already encourage cross-disciplinary communication in top-down as well as bottom-up modes.
Additionally, the instructors will use the weekend recess to decide on
a reference list of 
20 key papers, selected from each
discipline's contributions to the meetings topical issues. This
reading list is also to be distributed electronically ahead of each
meeting, and we will hand out a reader with these papers at each
workshop. If copyright restrictions can be adhered to and logistical
problems overcome, we will also distribute electronic versions of the
articles themselves ahead of time in case an attendee's library does
not hold individual journals.
