Series
- The SLAC Colloquium Series is the intellectual watering hole
for the entire laboratory, where all staff can congregate to hear talks
intended for a general audience on a wide variety of subjects. Many of the
colloquia, naturally enough, are in areas related to SLAC's mission ---
particle physics, astro-particle physics and cosmology, accelerator physics,
and photon science. But there are frequently talks from such diverse fields as
medicine, atomic and condensed-matter physics, planetary missions, history of
science, energy research, education and public policy.
- SLAC
Public Lecture Series
- Every other month, SLAC opens its doors to the local
community for a series of evening lectures highlighting the cutting-edge
science underway at the laboratory. Past lectures have featured diamonds, dark
energy, the making of molecular movies, and the hunt for the Higgs.
- Technology and
Society Committee
- The Technology and Society Committee (TASC) is a group of
engineers, scientists, computer professionals, other workers in technology
related fields, and other citizens in the Santa Clara Valley, who share a
common concern about the social consequences of technology. TASC engages in
activities to raise social awareness among technical people, and in the
community-at-large, about critical issues of technology and society. It also
seeks to promote a greater public accountability and responsibility for social
impacts of technology and technological change.
