Seminar Schedule
The BSL Seminar regularly takes place Tuesdays at 4:00pm (PST) unless otherwise noted. Seminars will be hybrid with in-person people joining from the BSL Conference Room (220 McCone Hall) and many others joining virtually. Please email Roland Bürgmann (burgmann@berkeley.edu) and Weiqiang Zhu (zhuwq@berkeley.edu) to be added to the mailing list to receive the Zoom link.
