2017-2018 Public Lectures
This year's Saturday Science @ LSU series of lectures for high school students, teachers, and the public will begin on September 16, 2017. We invite you to join us for, we think, an interesting and exciting series.
All the lectures will be held from 10:00 AM to 11:15 AM in 130 Nicholson Hall on the Saturday's listed below at LSU, Baton Rouge. We hope you will join us, and will look forward to seeing you and your students.
