Thursdays - 4:00 pm in Nielsen Hall 170
Coffee and cookies are served at 3:30pm in the Nielsen Hall Atrium.
The Physics and Astronomy colloquium is a forum for invited scientists to present modern research in a fashion accessible to those with a background in physics, but who are not experts in the field. Talks are aimed at a graduate level.
If you have questions about colloquium, please contact Dick Henry, at henry@nhn.ou.edu or by phone at (405) 325-3961.
