Joint Tufts / MIT Tuesday Cosmology Seminars

The seminar rotates between MIT and Tufts. MIT seminars are organized by Thomas Steingasser (tstngssr at mit edu), Misha Ivanov (ivanov99 at mit edu), David Kaiser (dikaiser at mit edu), and Alan Guth (guth at ctp mit edu). Tufts seminars are organized by Mark Hertzberg (Mark.Hertzberg at tufts edu) and Alex Vilenkin (vilenkin at cosmos phy tufts edu). These pages are maintained by Ken Olum (kdo@cosmos.phy.tufts.edu)
