Summer Lecture Series

Organized by MPA Division, LANL Institutes and LANL Student Association

Our summer lecture series is open to all Los Alamos National Laboratory badge holders and is specifically designed to present the great science done at LANL to our students, postdoctoral researchers, and staff. In the course of 18 talks and 3 site visits we will have a unique opportunity to see the facilities and learn about LANL directly from our top scientists. Refreshments will be served. We look forward to meeting you there!
