Physics & Astronomy 750:634
Seminar in Physics
Spring Semester 2022

This Seminar presents faculty of the Physics and Astronomy program discussing their current research. All first-year graduate students are expected to attend -- attendance is taken -- and everyone else is welcome.

The Spring 2022 Seminar will continue to meet at 5 PM as usual but online, so that we can all socially distance ourselves appropriately. The zoom meeting link is in the weekly department newsletter, and I will also email it to the class and speaker each Tuesday.
