Come share your love and enthusiasm for physics at the Physics Open Mic—an informal, bi-monthly lecture series by and for graduate students and postdocs.
You don’t have to be an expert to attend or to give a talk, you just have to be curious! Want to talk about wormholes and entanglement, or about how the new amplifier in the lab works? At the open mic, you can talk about whatever science excites you, and we get to learn! Talks should be accessible to a general physics audience, and the topic does not need to be related to your own research. Of course, there will be food for thought and nourishment!
The open mic is scheduled every other Fridays at 4 pm at YQI. Check out our calendar for the upcoming Physics Open Mic.
For more details or if you would like to present a talk, contact Shruti Puri or Connor Hann.
