[Physics-grads-open] [physics-grads-open] (Date changed!) Physics & Astronomy Student Seminar (PASS), May 31st at 4 pm, Phys 3027

[Ming-Feng Ho]

A reminder that we will have a PASS seminar *tomorrow,* *Tuesday (May 31),
at 4 pm.*

Wei-Xiang will talk about how to produce supermassive black holes at
high-redshift, using SIDM.

This talk is a high-energy/astroparticle talk. We encourage students
interested in this field to come and ask questions.

Details of the PASS program, please find here [Program
<https://jibancat.github.io/ucr-student-seminars/program/index.html>].

Best,
Ming-Feng
