The Great Half Bake-Off

The Great Half Bake Off is your chance to showcase your perhaps-strange, somewhat unrealistic, or incompletely imagined idea for a project: throw something delicious at the wall, and see what sticks. Creativity is encouraged. Tocques are not required.

Why is the Great Half Bake Off?

 * We all have ideas lurking in an incomplete state -- they might be delightful, or they might not survive the harsh light of day, but we won't know until we drag them out of our someday-I-wish recipe boxes and dump them out onto a plate.
 * There was an open slot in the 2x2 matrix formed by Research (formed through unformed) and Peer Review (formal through informal), and this fills that slot.
 * Prosociality is positively correlated with survival.

Ok, I have at least one bad incomplete, half-baked idea. How do I do this?

 * Gather your ingredients: one slide
 * Present your creation: utter words that can fill at most two minutes
 * Listen to the judges: Rapid-fire hot takes only! Max 5 minutes of feedback will be delivered: fresh or it's free.

2023 Edition for the Sept 2023 Meetup

 * You can use this as an opportunity to also introduce yourself briefly, but don't put the half-bake too much on the backseat!
 * You still get just 2 minutes to present your half-bake; the feedback will be 2-3 minutes for time.
