When: Wednesday Evenings - 5:30pm til...

Where: Second floor lounge (3rd level) of the Maxwell-Dworkin Building, 33 Oxford St, on the Harvard Campus.  Directions and parking instructions are here.

What: These talks are informal, with emphasis on new results and ideas, rather than polished presentations. The audience typically includes physicists, engineers, mathematicians, including the biologically-inclined as well as a few biologists.  The goal is to stimulate discussion with the audience.  Talks are typically about 45 minutes long, with lots of questions along the way.

Pizza: Only the finest!
