During the 2024–25 academic year, the CMSA will be hosting a seminar on General Relativity, organized by Uri Kol and Puskar Mondal.

This seminar will take place on Tuesdays from 11:00 am – 12:00 pm (Eastern time). The meetings will take place in Room G10 at the CMSA, 20 Garden Street, Cambridge MA 02138, and some meetings will take place virtually on Zoom or be held in hybrid formats.
