Seminar in Physics
Fall Semester 2024

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

The Seminar meets each Tuesday, 6th period, 5:40 - 6:40 pm. There might be a few zoom seminars - in this case I will email zoom links.
