Colloquium Series

Department colloquia usually meet on Fridays at 12:45 PM (unless otherwise noted) in the Cunniff lecture hall (Science Center 199). These research talks are aimed at a broad audience of undergraduate physics, astrophysics, and astronomy majors. Visitors are welcome.

A casual lunch (such as pizza) is served at 12:25 PM in the lobby outside room 199.

Cunniff Hall, also known as Science Center (SC) room 199, is not in the Physics Department but rather is on the other side of the Science Center, near the Chemistry Department office, and almost directly under the observatory dome (making it easy to locate from outside the Science Center). In fact, to find your way to Cunniff Hall, you can follow these directions to the observatory and at the last step, you'll find the room directly opposite the elevator, on the first floor.
