Thursdays - 4:00 pm in Nielsen Hall 211
Coffee and cookies are served at 3:30pm in the first floor of Nielsen Hall.
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.
