Week 6 Presentation:


Dr. Sarah Ballard

NASA Carl Sagan Fellow

University of Washington

Dr. Ballard is a NASA Carl Sagan Fellow currently at the University of Washington in Seattle. Dr. Ballard will speak on recent results of the Kepler satellite in the Physics departmental colloquium this week. This will be interesting and give an up-to-date picture where our searches for Earth-like planets in the habitable zones of extra-Solar planetary systems currently stand.

Dr. Ballard's talk will be presented in Room 100 of Willamette Hall from 4-5 pm on Thursday, May 8, 2014. Cookies, coffee, tea, water, ... will be served in the Atrium of Willamette Hall starting around 3:40 pm.

I will be there with an attendance sheet. Please find me before the talk and sign in or find me after the talk and sign in.
