Dear enthusiasts of the SLAAM seminars,


We are excited to resume the Soft Living Active and Adaptive Matter (SLAAM) series after an eventful APS March Meeting.  To make up for the lost time, we will have three SLAAM seminars on consecutive Mondays beginning next week.


The next seminar on Monday, March 28th at 9 am (Pacific)/12 noon Eastern US time will be given by Dr. Eldad Afik ( California Institute of Technology, CA).

Title:    Intrinsic Rhythms in a Giant Single-Celled Organism and the Interplay with Time-Dependent Drive, Explored via Self-Organized Macroscopic Waves
