The list of group seminars organized before Autumn, 2006 is still available from /~rcastelo/gsem/

The sessions wiki site is for internal use though (you will be asked for a valid user and password):

Here you can find few of the slides we have prepared for our Seminars and Journal Club sessions. Some of them were made with Office-like software (so you can find the corresponding SXI/PPT or a PDF file), some were typeset with LaTeX (so you can find the gzipped PS/PDF file), and some were written directly in HTML or PHP.
