The Graduate Program’s
weekly seminar series meets
on Tuesdays at 4 PM in the
Leichtag conference room and
features invited speakers from
around the world. Students
have the opportunity to meet
with the speakers over lunch
or dinner each week (interested
students should contact the
student host). The Salk Institute
also organizes frequent lectures
as do many of the other departments
and institutions in and around
UCSD.
