About the Series

The SLAC Colloquium Series is the intellectual watering hole for the entire laboratory, where all staff can congregate to hear talks intended for a general audience on a wide variety of subjects. Many of the colloquia, naturally enough, are in areas related to SLAC's mission --- particle physics, astro-particle physics and cosmology, accelerator physics, and photon science. But there are frequently talks from such diverse fields as medicine, atomic and condensed-matter physics, planetary missions, history of science, energy research, education and public policy.

The Colloquium Committee:

• Marty Breidenbach (chair)
• Roger Blandford
• Neil Calder
• Lance Dixon
• Jerry Hastings
• Greg Loew
• Marvin Weinstein

The committee always welcome your suggestions for interesting speakers and topics. And of course we invite your attendance at the Colloquia, at Panofsky Auditorium at 4:15pm on Monday afternoons, preceded by refreshments at 3:45pm.
