"Time is an illusion. Lunchtime, doubly so."
DOUGLAS ADAMS
Postdocs in astronomy, astrophysics, cosmology, numerical relativity, and gravitational waves from Caltech and JPL meet once a week for a talk and catered lunch. The idea is to promote stimulating interaction in an informal environment. A designated speaker leads a 20 minute discussion on anything science related — preferably not your own research, but something you find interesting! No slides required. Because of the diverse interests of the participants, the topic should be made accessible to a broad audience.
The Postdoc Lunch Seminars are held Thursdays in Cahill 312 at 12pm, unless otherwise noted.
