The department sponsors a lively and highly interactive series of lunch-time talks on various topics of current interest in astronomy, physics, and other areas of science. Students have a wonderful opportunity to see why the current "hot topics" are of such great interest to physicists. We also organize special events where internationally recognized speakers are invited to visit us.
