NPA seminars cover recent results and new developments in experimental nuclear, particle and astrophysics. NPA seminars are the main research talks at Wright Lab and draw a diverse audience interested in current topics in fundamental physics. NPA seminars are supported by the Flint Fund, Wright Laboratory, and Yale University.
The Yale Physics Professional Development Organization (YPPDO) is focused on providing physical science PhDs and postdocs with information, contacts, and resources on a range of career opportunities, especially outside academia. YPPDO talks are supported by the Yale Physics Department and Wright Laboratory.
Members in the departments of physics and astronomy who work on dark matter and neutrino-related fields are invited to get together to discuss papers related to their field. Topics include: neutrinos, dark matter, BSM physics, fundamental symmetries, precision physics and more.
Instrumentation Lunch is a forum for discussions on topics related to instrumentation, quantum sensors, and experimental methods. Everyone interested in instrumentation and its related applications in experiments and beyond is welcome. Instrumentation lunches are supported by the Wright Laboratory and Yale University.
Kimball Smith tackles issues at the intersection of science, technology, ethics, and global affairs; ranging from nuclear weapons risks to artificial intelligence policy. The series was co-founded by Talia Weiss, a Wright Lab graduate student; Ellie Singer, an undergraduate in political science; and Lucas Arthur, who studied at MIT and is now a Technical Associate in the MIT Laboratory for Nuclear Security and Policy. Kimball Smith is sponsored by the Yale Astronomy & Physics departments, Wright Lab, and the International Security Studies Center for Industrial Ecology
DMDG is now part of the Yale Center for the Invisible Universe (YCIU)
The Early Career Scientist Seminar was a seminar held at Wright Lab, with talks generally given by Yale Physics graduate students and postdocs on a variety of topics. The seminar was open to all members of the Yale Physics community. Talks were supported by the Wright Laboratory, the Yale Physics Department and Yale University.
The Early Career Scientist Seminar was started in Fall of 2024 as an evolution of the WIDG seminar. Below is the historical list of WIDG coordinators.
