Berkeley Electrochemistry Seminar Series

2008 Schedule

Monday Seminars and Discussions beginpromptly at 4:00 PM in LBNL Building 70, Room 191

Note:  70-191 is reservedevery Monday (except for LBNL holidays) from 3:30 PM until 5:00 PM, so thatseminar speakers can arrive early to check viewgraphs, or discussions can beginearlier if need be.
