| - | - A typical Nuclear Science Seminar audience is composed of 90 +/- 30 people. | + | - Our audience is composed of 60 to 120 people and is unusually diverse: |
| - | - Our audience is unusually diverse: | + | * In attendance are faculty, staff scientists, postdocs, graduate students, and undergraduates. |
| - | * asdfa | + | * They are affiliated with NSCL, FRIB, the Physics & Astronomy Department, and/or the Chemistry Department. |
| - | - * MSU Undergraduates majoring in Physics, Astronomy, and/or Chemistry | + | * They work mainly in the fields of experimental nuclear science (physics and chemistry), nuclear theory, accelerator science, and computational astrophysics (among others). |
| - | - * Physics & raduate students studying nuclear | + | - Because we have a very broad audience, the Nuclear Science Seminar should be thought of as equivalent to a Colloquium in a physics department. |
| - | - - * undergraduates at MSU, Physics graduate students studying nuclear | + | - The talk should be prepared for a first-year graduate student level audience who has had a strong general modern physics course at the undergraduate level. |
| - | - - * undergraduates at MSU, Physics graduate students studying nuclear | + | - A good length is (45 +/- 5) minutes with an additional 5-10 minutes at the end for questions and discussion. Any longer will test the patience of the audience. |
| + | - The first 1/3 of the talk should provide substantial background and motivation. Reviewing material that the audience "should already know" is vital because it makes the ideas fresh on their mind and better prepares them to anticipate and receive the information in the latter part of the talk. | ||
