The CU-Prime talk series give students and members of the broader community the opportunity to hear about the life of a grad student and learn about current research in STEM in a jargon-free way. Feel free to check out recordings of some of our past talks on CU-Prime's YouTube channel,
Join us next January when we resume our CU-Prime talk series with the annual physics debate - more details to come!
