Brown Bag Seminars

Physics Brown Bag Seminars present exciting research in physics to the Aalto community
Pizza_slice

Physics brown bag seminars highlight exciting new results arising from the physics community at Aalto. At the same time, they provide an opportunity to have some pizza and listen to an entertaining talk in the lobby of Nanotalo (unless otherwise posted). These seminars are given at a general level for a broad audience.
