Interested in giving a talk? We'd like to hear from you! We are booking student speakers for the spring term.

Email Lucy Liuxuan Zhang <lzhang@math> telling us your title and what day(s) you would prefer. We will ask for a short (1-2 paragraph) abstract the week before the talk so that it can go on the official seminar announcements.
