Dear UC Berkeley Postdocs, Visiting Scholars, Visiting Student Researchers, and Graduate Students,

The Berkeley Postdoctoral Association (BPA) is pleased to invite you to their seminar series, All Talks Considered, designed to bridge communication across the many fields of research found on the Berkeley campus -- featuring lively discussion and two 15-minute talks from Berkeley postdocs. In this informal setting, it is the BPA's hope to establish new ideas and links.
