Science on Saturday, on Zoom

Almost always the talks are fascinating. Although, the Princeton Plasma Physics Lab is an National Physics Lab, the talks, while often involving physicists (as tomorrow's will), also include, biologists, geologists, chemists, social scientists, oceanographers, climate scientists, etc.

They are hosted by the charming and fun Dr. Andrew Zwicker, head of science education at the lab, who also moonlights as the Democratic NJ Assemblyman in the NJ Legislature.

In previous years, the talks were held at PPPL with a very nice social hour before hand featuring coffee, donuts (great donuts!) bagels and interesting conversation.

As with Covid, the talks have moved to Zoom, they are now accessible around the world. They are held at 9:30 am EST, with a Q&A session after the talks ending usually by 11:30. The talks themselves are about an hour generally.
