2009 - 2010 Monthly CfA Graduate Student Seminar Schedule
 

The Harvard-Smithsonian Graduate Student Seminar is a monthly seminar that features the research of both Harvard Graduate Students and SAO Predoctoral Fellows. The purpose of the seminar is to highlight the important research being conducted by graduate students at the Center for Astrophysics (CfA). Also, this seminar provides an opportunity for students across the CfA to come together to discuss research and experiences in the field. On the second Wednesday of every month, at 4:00 pm, in the Pratt Conference Room, a Harvard Graduate Student and an SAO Predoctoral Fellow will present their work in a 30-minute segment that includes time for questions and feedback.
