    Upon entering Pupin, follow the signs to the designated room for the lecture (it changes from time-to-time).

    Talks and slideshows are generally held on the 3rd and 4th floors and are aimed at the layperson (children will get something out of this too!). Observing occurs on the roof.

    Bring warm clothes for windy or cold conditions.

    Entrance is free to all. No reservations necessary. Just show up!
