Café Club

Rationale

Informal presentation of about 20-25 minutes followed by a 5-10 min discussion. The presentation could be a proper short focused talk or just a few slides with mainly figures, or just at the white-board with a pen. The content could be some new results/ideas related to past, on-going or future projects in extragalactic astrophysics. If you have visitors, please ask them to participate and give a presentation - they should have priority over presentation by 'local' people! Local PhD Student/Post-Doc are encouraged to participate and contribute talks.

Also, we have the formal LAM seminars, with the schedule here

When

>>> During COVID-19 epoch: Every Wednesday at 11:00 am on zoom <<<

...it was every Wednesday at 1:30 pm in the library (ground floor) at LAM (coffee @ 1:15 pm).
