“Quarks in the Universe”

Learn about quarks and other aspects of our universe from one of the Washington University students' favorite professors. (“The best teacher ever”, “One of the best teachers I have had. He is hilarious and makes the class very interesting. The material is difficult, but he makes us understand.”, “He is amazing. I actually want to go to class!”)  Professor Alford's research focuses on high density quark matter and color superconductivity.

All meetings are on the last Wednesday of the month, 7 - 8:30 p.m. The format is as follows: 20 minutes of presentation, followed by a 7 minute break for the attendees to introduce themselves to each other at the table, and then an hour of discussion.
