Department Lunch Talks

Weekly talk series with three 12+4 minute talks, typically featuring two local scientists and the scheduled astronomy colloquium speaker.  Subjects include not only personal scientific research, but also arXiv/journal-club style reports, education and public outreach efforts, science policy, and professional development issues.

Day and Time: Thursdays at 12:30 (Berkeley time, so 12:40–1:30). **Note that from Jan 29 to Feb 26, the talks will be held at 3:30-4:30PM (Berkeley time).**
Location: 131 Campbell Hall (rooms A & B)
Organizer: Paul Kalas

To volunteer for a talk, please e-mail Paul (kalas@astro.berkeley.edu).  Berkeley graduate students and postdocs are given priority for talks, but visiting scientists and collaborators are also welcome to present.  Visitors should have their local hosts contact Paul to facilitate scheduling their talk.

Speakers are recommended to bring their own laptop, pointer, and, if necessary, a cable adapter (we have HDMI and USB-C).  Presentations may also use the whiteboard.  Please contact Ryan ahead of time for any special accommodations.
