THE COMPASS LECTURE SERIES
The Compass Project and Berkeley's SPS are sponsoring the first ever Compass Lecture Series, which is designed for the physics undergraduate audience but appropriate and open to all interested in learning more about research in the physical sciences. This semester's lectures include stars, strings, superconductors, and much more. It's going to be a good time, so bring your friends!
The Compass lectures are aimed at an undergraduate audience. Graduates, professors, and students of other departments are welcome. The lectures are held on given Tuesdays in 325 Old LeConte from 4-5pm. Tea and cookies are served at 3:30pm.
