[Lilab] Preparing for the new quarter

[Wei Vivian Li]

Regarding Point 5, I just shared with you a Google Doc, in which you can
add the papers you've read. Please follow the format of the given examples.
We will briefly go through the list biweekly in our group meetings.

Please let me know if you didn't receive it.

Best,
Vivian
