The talks are held on Wednesday afternoons, 3:30 - 4:30 pm
(any exceptions are noted in the table).
SOFIA Science Center staff are in the midst of moving from
building N-211 to building N-232. We will update this site
once a new location has been confirmed. Information about
the location will be included in the email sent out announcing
each week's talk.
