Speaker
Juan Collar
(University of Chicago)
Description
I will start with a tale of early paleodetector events, squarely at the boundary of the humorous and the tragic, responsible for setting this field back a good three decades. The speaker will then display a semblance of penitence by discussing fullerenes as geochemical detectors for highly-ionizing exotica, and presenting a primo spot to attempt the hardest trick in this carnival.
