Nobel Keynote Lecture Series at Berkeley Lab

June 4, 2014

In honor of its 40th Anniversary, NERSC is sponsoring a series of lectures describing the research behind four Nobel Prizes. The Laureates are also long-time users of NERSC’s supercomputing resources.

All talks will be held at Berkeley Lab in Bldg. 66, except for Saul Perlmutter (June 11), which will take place in Bldg. 50. Each talk begins at noon and runs to 1:30.

UC Berkeley staff and students can ride the Lab shuttle to the lectures – just show your ID to the driver.

These lectures will be live streamed; to watch follow this link: hosting.epresence.tv/lbl.
