The UT Brownsville Relativity Group sponsors quasi-monthly physics seminars. This year they are roughly evenly divided between widely accessible colloquia (appropriate for a range of physicists including students) and higher-level seminars (intended for a more specialized audience). In addition, there are a few special public lectures in the evenings. The expected level of each talk will be indicated in the schedule below.
All seminars are held in the Science and Engineering Technology Building (room listed in the table)
