The 2021 CAP Lecture Series is an influential and energizing event for undergraduate students in physics departments across Canada. The series features presentations that span a wide range of current topics in physics.
Due to the current pandemic, this year's tour will be held in a virtual format, delivered over six weeks from February 8 until March 20, with one talk per week. The detailed schedule appears below.
EACH SPEAKER'S TALK WILL BE IN EITHER ENGLISH OR FRENCH AND WILL BE STREAMED LIVE TO THE CAP YOUTUBE CHANNEL WITH SUBTITLES DISPLAYED IN THE ALTERNATE LANGUAGE. More information on how to connect to each talk can be found on our web page https://www.cap.ca/programs/cap-lecture-tour/2021-lecture-tour/2021-lect... .
While the talks are designed for undergraduate students, the sessions are open to anyone who wishes to attend. Questions may be submitted to the speaker using their designated question form prior to or during the event, or after the talk.
