The seminars are held every Friday in the Adamson Wing of Baker Hall.
They go from 3:30 - 5:00, but refreshments are served upstairs at
3:15. Food cannot be brought downstairs (sorry, but that's not our
rule), so arrive early if you want to munch and talk to your
collegues. Please don't leave in the middle of a seminar; it's very
demoralizing for the speaker.
