The JHU/STScI CAS Wine and Cheese Seminars take place in Bloomberg 462 every Monday at 4:00 pm Eastern. There will be two speakers every week, each giving a half hour (25+5) presentation. These speakers will comprise both local researchers and visitors --- ideally one of each per week --- with a wide range of scientific interests. There will be excellent wine and cheese/refreshments to go along with the talks and discussions. For more information, please contact us at (Gail Zasowski), (Hotaka Shiokawa), (Guangtun Ben Zhu), and tlan at pha.jhu.edu (Ting-Wen Lan).


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.)
