IGERT Presentations

The IGERT Seminar Lunches are hour-long, bring-your-own-lunch affairs held during the academic quarter on alternate Wednesdays from 12:00-1:00 in Tech room F235. Two speakers from the IGERT Program will present 25 minute talks (with 5 minutes for questions) on their recent work at a level appropriate for a general Physics audience.
