Socorro Colloquium Schedule - Spring 2023
Colloquia and seminar talks are held in the auditorium of the Domenici Science Operations Center (DSOC) in Socorro, New Mexico. All are welcome in-person following current Covid protocols. Please check-in with the receptionist on the day of the colloquium.
The talks generally assume a good grounding in research astronomy. Participation will also be available via zoom: https://go.nrao.edu/nm-colloq-zoom.
This semester colloquium and seminar talks are usually scheduled for 11am local time on Fridays; those which are not are indicated in green. With ongoing Covid uncertainties we expect a mix of in-person and virtual talks.
