PH111: student talks schedule

I've made up a preliminary schedule for your talks, which you can find here.

As a reminder, talks should be about 20 minutes in length, with a question & answer period of about 5 minutes following each talk. Timing will be rather strictly enforced so we can get through all of your talks in only three class periods. Finally, keep in mind that it is expected that all group members contribute to the oral presentation.

The first set of talks is on 16 November, which is only two weeks away ...

PH111: Drake equation, next seminar

Interesting article about updates to the Drake equation.

Next week, I'll be giving the seminar again, this time on information storage physics. There will be some light reading posted later today, but for now you might peruse this older talk I gave. (Warning, 22Mb PDF.) It is specifically about magnetic information storage, but might get you thinking along the right lines.
