P-CAST Talks
PRIMA Community Astronomy Science and Technology (P-CAST) Talks

We are excited to launch a new monthly talk series to keep the community informed about the exciting science potential at far-infrared wavelengths and prepare the community for the possibilities offered by PRIMA. Talk topics will broadly encompass past and future facilities, including overviews of science opportunities with PRIMA, instrumentation advances in the far-infrared, precursor science with current facilities, archival science with past far-infrared facilities, and synergies with current and planned multiwavelength facilities.

Talks will take place monthly and will be broadcast online. Recordings of past talks will be available here. If you are interested in giving a future talk, please e-mail the P-CAST organizer Betsy Mills.

Talk Schedule

Talks will typically occur on the fourth Monday of the month, except in cases of holidays.

Talks will occur at 9 A.M. Pacific / 12 P.M. Eastern / 6 P.M. CET
