Back to the Graduate Student Seminar
Homepage
Seminars are held on
Fridays at noon in the faculty lounge (Physics Room 298).
The seminars are given by Duke Physics graduate students and post-docs
and run between 25 and 50 minutes in length. The atmosphere is intended
to be friendly and that of a learning experience for everyone involved.
No faculty attend the seminar, to enhance the atmosphere of a meeting of
equals.
All Duke
Physics graduate students are strongly encouraged to attend and all
post-docs are invited.
Lunch, usually pizza, is provided. Please bring at least $0.25 (per 2
slices) to help with the tip on days when there is pizza.
The 2003, 2004, 2005, and 2006 schedules are also available.
