If it's a Wednesday afternoon between September and April, there's likely to be a Science and Math colloquium taking place!
All sessions in the Science and Mathematics Colloquium Series, organized by faculty in ASU's College of Integrative Sciences and Arts at the Polytechnic campus, are free and open to the public. The series features invited speakers who share their current pursuits in research and education in the areas of biology, physics, chemistry, and mathematics.
The seminars occur almost weekly during the academic year, are typically scheduled from 3-4 p.m. on Wednesdays, in-person at ASU Polytechnic campus and/or via Zoom. They're promoted on CISA's social media accounts (@CISAASU on Twitter, Instagram, Facebook), the ASU Events site, and ASU Sunrise at Poly e-newsletter (the weekly electronic bulletin for employees at the ASU Polytechnic campus).
As you can see from archived titles from prior years, seminars cross a broad range of disciplines, issues and expertise.
