Schedule+of+Observer+Visits

**Schedule of Observer Seminars, Week-by Week**
Go to [|current week.]

The "observers" come for a week (or so) during the program. Their visit includes giving a seminar on their work to the audience of mostly theorists participating in the workshop & also hanging out to talk about Star Formation at KITP in Santa Barbara for the rest of their visit. The exact date and time for the talk will be worked out after the program begins in consultation with the long-term participants. Speakers should arrive prepared to give a seminar of about 30 minutes in length, anticipating 30 minutes of discussion. KITP seminars tend to be relatively informal and interactive, with lots of interruptions with questions or comments.
