Research Colloquia & Seminars
The Physics Department holds an annual series of colloquia in which research physicists are invited to present their work to our students and faculty. These colloquia are an excellent forum for students to learn about research issues at the forefronts of physics. Our location in the Boston area, with its many world-class research institutions, affords us access to many speakers in a wide range of fields. The department also regularly co-sponsors research talks with the Astronomy Department. We also hold informal "chalk talks" - lunch-time meetings where we, faculty and students, can discuss our ongoing research projects and "hot topics" in the world of physics.
