| + | Below is a schedule and brief description of the talks and other events that occur weekly in the astronomy department. For the invited talks, you should receive an email beforehand with the title and abstract of the talk that week. These emails will also usually call for those who are interested to have lunch and/or dinner with the speaker. Take advantage of these because grad students eat free (except for colloquium lunch...so make sure to go to Colloquium dinner instead)! Other opportunities for free food are in bold below. | ||
