*Thread Reply:* Google says: A Stammtisch (German for “regulars’ table”, [ˈʃtamtɪʃ]) is an informal group meeting held on a regular basis, and also the usually large, often round table around which the group meets. A Stammtisch is not a structured meeting, but rather a friendly get-together.
*Thread Reply:* You don't want to do it on gather.town?
*Thread Reply:* Yes I think that will be probably the case ;)
Hello @channel this is a reminder that tomorrow is the first spaamtisch meeting 🙂 we will meet at 5pm CET on gather.town (link below) to discuss what should be spaamtisch for you! See you soon! https://gather.town/app/PlXjb0deog0B4JCq/spaam-community
*Thread Reply:* @Maria Lopopolo it woul dbe good to post on #general what SPAAMtisch is as well as this, just to remind people who may have missed htis in the past 🙂
*Thread Reply:* It's ok to @ channel on there too;)
*Thread Reply:* yep about to do that too 😉
*Thread Reply:* got the power
*Thread Reply:* 308 people now --> 🤌
*Thread Reply:* You should also post on the mailing list and Twitter! Completely forgot about those
*Thread Reply:* Nice notes 😎
*Thread Reply:* Only one selection possible? Or should we make more than 1 topics?
*Thread Reply:* I am not sure we would have the time to discuss two topics since we have only one hour . As of now let’s try with one topic and see how it goes 🙂 going forward we can see how much time we spend on one topic and see if we can discuss more than one 🙂
*Thread Reply:* Can we vote for more than 1 option?
*Thread Reply:* you can vote for multiple options but we might not be able to discuss more than one topic in one meeting. I guess we have to test it.
*Thread Reply:* (fast method: click on Maria's name in the participant list and press 'follow'
*Thread Reply:* @Maria Lopopolo do you think you could make a reeccuring google event (if you use it?)
*Thread Reply:* Otherwise I worry I'll forget 😬
*Thread Reply:* Maybe I can do it later on when I see that most of people seem to be free around always the same time 😉 for now I’d like to keep it flexible. But maybe I can do a google event even if not recurring? right?
*Thread Reply:* Yes I think you can modify the type of event it is after
*Thread Reply:* What does option 5 mean exactly?
*Thread Reply:* Dealing with challenges associated with this work….it’s more like issues discussion in general related to PhD or postdocs (e.g. lots of things don’t lead to enough data to draw conclusions, etc)
Hello @channel see you in 10 min at the usual gathertown link pinned in this channel. https://gather.town/app/PlXjb0deog0B4JCq/spaam-community
*Thread Reply:* Option 5. register = record?
*Thread Reply:* yes sorry! I misspelled that
Hello @channel as anticipated in previous sessions of #spaamtisch our next two meetings will be in different formats. I have invited two authors presenting their published or nearly published recent research work. For our first #spaamtisch of this format we’ll have @Camila Duitama presenting on the 21st of March at 5-6pm CET. Camila will present her work on:
decOM: Similarity-based microbial source tracking of ancient oral samples using k-mer-based methods https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2023.01.26.525439v1.full
Please be aware that everybody is invited to participate at this meeting. However, as per community vote earlier this month, PIs will be allowed to ask one question in order to give the opportunity to young researchers and students to be more involved. So read up and prepare your questions! 🙂
Hello @channel don’t forget our meeting today at 5-6:30pm CET with @Camila Duitama presenting her PhD work on ancient metagenomics decontamination.

*Thread Reply:* @Maria Lopopolo apologies for the lack of experience, how can I join the meeting on the 15th of December at 4 pm? What zoom-link and what are the rules?
*Thread Reply:* Also @Maria Lopopolo, I got a request from somebody outside of SPAAM community if they are allowed to join the meeting. Would this be possible? If so, may I share the zoom-link with this person?
*Thread Reply:* Thanks a lot Maria! 🙏 How much time do I have for presentation and questions?
*Thread Reply:* ~40 min presentation and then ~20 for the questions ;)
*Thread Reply:* Hey @Nikolay Oskolkov I think the zoom link I provided is not working but @Biancamaria Bonucci will share a functional one soon
*Thread Reply:* good, thank you Maria!
*Thread Reply:* @Nikolay Oskolkov thank you so much for taking the time in answering so thoroughly our questions! I am inspired now and will do a similar document for other seminars to come 🙂 hoping that we may all learn from each other! People interested in making a blog issue please feel free to access this document for material if you think it will be useful 🙂 @Ele @Shreya

I remind you all that this is a safe space for everyone 🙂 and we try our best to moderate the meeting so that priority is given to students and young researchers to ask questions and share common issues and opinions. Nevertheless, senior researchers and PIs are invited to participate and share their knowledge on topics they are more expert on. So this is a great opportunity for learning too! Cheers!
Dear @channel reminder for our spaamtisch! We are going to start in one hour! :partyparrot:
