College of William & Mary

The colloquia are organized by R. Welsh and the colloquium committee, and are usually held at 4:00 PM Friday afternoon in Room 109 in William Small Physical Laboratory. Coffee, cookies and other goodies are available ( gratis!) in the conference room (Small 123) starting at 3:30 PM. All are welcome (no cookies if you don't attend the talk...)
