Particle Theory Seminars

Seminars are normally held on Wednesdays at 1:30 pm and sometimes also on Fridays at 12:30 pm (pizza at noon) in Newman Lab 311.

If there is no external speaker, the Friday seminar is used for the particle theory journal club with mostly local speakers. For more information, please contact Andreas Weiler (weiler(a)lepp.cornell.edu). Click here for information to help speakers planning their trip to Ithaca. If you want to be included in the pizza lunch mailing list, drop me an email.
