HARDTIMES SEMINARS

The idea of the "Hardtimes Seminars" is to bring people and ideas together and to discuss recent topics in condensed matter and statistical physics/chemistry. The seminars are very informal with the main goal "of enlightening the speaker and giving a hardtime to the audience" or vice-versa. The seminars are normally held in the SNIAM Building Advanced Materials Conference Room (room 0.07) T.C.D. every Wednesday from 1.00-2.00 P.M.  

If you would like to give an Hardtimes seminar please send an e-mail including a title and a short abstract to Dónal Mac Kernan. Prepare your "Hardtimes" question and join the group!!!!!
