The JHU/STScI CAS Wine and Cheese Seminars take place in Bloomberg 462 every Monday at 3:30 pm Eastern. Each week, there will be either one speaker, giving an hour-long presentation (50+10), or two speakers, each giving a half hour (25+5) presentation. Hour-long speakers will be invited by the committee, and the half-hour speakers will comprise both local researchers and visitors with a wide range of scientific interests. Several times in each semester the Wine & Cheese Seminar will be devoted to the work of JHU graduate students. These sessions will contain three talks each 15 minutes long, with 5 minutes for questions.

There will be wine, cheese, and other refreshments to go along with the talks and discussions. Should you have any questions, comments, or speaker suggestions, please contact kkuntz1 at jhu.edu.

Spring 2021 Schedule

As may be obvious, the in-person Wine and Cheese Seminar series is suspended until travel restrictions are lifted and social activities resume at the University. Until then, all talks will be virtual. Zoom invitations are sent the previous Friday, and again on Monday morning.
