Particle Theory Seminars
Seminars are normally held on Wednesdays at 2 pm (new!) and also on Fridays if there is no joint LHC meeting on Thursday. Thursday and Friday seminars are 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. Click here for information to help speakers planning their trip to Ithaca. For more information and if you want to be included in the pizza lunch mailing list, please contact Andreas Weiler (weiler(a)lepp.cornell.edu).Fall 2008
