Being on the department’s seminar committee …

… is a fun thing. In the last 6 weeks we have put together the departmental seminar for the current academic year. One professor and 3 graduate students and a postdoc (me being the latter) solliceted names from department members and hammerd out a schedule for this year. We even got a grant from the postgraduate student society to supplement the meagre budget reserved for speakers.

So now everything is on track and the first speakers are coming in. I will be the contact point for three of them – organising the talk, student-lunch and other meetings with faculty and graduate students/postdocs. It should be fun.
