The JHU/STScI CAS Wine and Cheese Seminars take place in Bloomberg 462 every Monday at 4:00 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. There will be excellent wine, cheese, and other refreshments to go along with the talks and discussions. Should you have any questions, comments, or speaker suggestions, please contact us: CAS Wine and Cheese Committee.


Where: Bloomberg 462 (Directions can be found here: How to get here)

When: Every Monday at 4:00 pm

Who: Everyone is welcome

Format: Keynote/PPT, PDF, or blackboard format. (Speakers may use their own laptops, and we will check that the display works ahead of time. Please have slides available online or on a portable drive in case we need to use a different computer.)
