Back to the Graduate Student Seminar Homepage

Seminars are held on Wednesdays at noon in the Physics Room 298 or 299 this semester.

The seminars are given by Duke Physics graduate students and post-docs and run between 20 and 40 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.
