Astrophysics seminars and the Equity & Inclusion Journal Club (EIJC) are generally held at 1:30 PM on Thursdays. During this semeseter, all seminars will be held virtually. Departmental colloquia are at 3:30 PM on Wednesdays (also virtual this semester). Given our virtual status, speakers are geographically distributed, and seminars may be shifted to different days/times to accommodate their time zone restrictions.
