Ever have trouble describing what you do at SLAC to your family and friends? Let the SLAC Public Lecture Series help!

This recurring lecture program, aimed at the local non-scientific community, will kick off with "All About SLAC: What Goes on in the World’s Longest Building" given by SLAC Communications Director Neil Calder, on February 24 at 7:30 p.m.

Future talks will be given by Herman Winick (SSRL), Steve Sekula (BABAR), Graham George (SSRL), and Joachim Stöhr (KIPAC). Topics will range from Ma.er and Anti-Matter to Particle Astrophysics to Synchrotron Radiation, and all will be presented in a fun, non-technical format to make SLAC science concepts accessible to local residents from all walks of life.

The lecture series will occur the last Tuesday of every other month at 7: 30 p.m. These one-hour talks will be followed by refreshments, and attendees can chat with scientists who will be on hand to answer questions. Invite your family and friends! See more information at: http://www.slac.stanford.edu/lectures
