Community / Research Society

Training ends. The table stays.

The Research Society is where AKA alumni keep doing science together: reading, arguing, building and publishing, with compute and a mentor nearby.

Opens with our first alumni, after the January batch

A typical month.

How we're planning it. The first members will shape the rest.

Week 1

Journal club

One paper that matters, read properly, with people who will argue about it.

Week 2

Working groups

Small teams on real questions from the lab's research directions, with GPUs booked.

Week 3

Expert talk

A scientist from industry or academia, in conversation rather than on a stage.

Week 4

Show your work

Groups present progress. Finished work goes to the Project Archive.

Why stay.

Keep your edge

Methods move fast. A monthly rhythm keeps your skills current long after the training.

Co-author, not just attend

Working groups aim at results you can publish and point to.

A network that hires

Members move into companies and labs, and bring openings back to Fork.

A say in what's next

Members help decide which trainings and research directions AKA takes on.

How you join.

  1. Finish Affinity

    Complete the training and your final project.

  2. Present your project

    Defend it to the batch and your mentor. It goes to the Archive.

  3. Take your seat

    You're a member. Pick a working group, or start one around your own question.

Membership starts with Affinity.

The January batch will be the Society's founding members.
