Astro seminar
Fall 2005
The astro seminar is a platform for all researchers in Astrophysics,
i.e. grad students, PHD students, instructors, postdocs, professors
[did I forget anybody?],
to present their work or (as in a journal club) a paper they find
interesting.
Guidelines
- Work in progress is fine and most probably more interesting to the
audience than completely finished projects where you know all the
answers.
- Not everybody in the audience works in your field, so
technicalities should be minimized in favour of physical ideas.
- Bring your lunch if you like (but don't munch and slurp too
loudly…)
Plan
The seminar starts at 12.00.
Time slots are 30 minutes for the talk, plus 15 minutes for questions
and discussion.
Please send me the
title of your talk, together with a useful reference (if applicable) at
least 8 days ahead of your talk, so I can properly announce it.
