The calendars below indicate currently open slots.

Although TUNA talks are traditionally on Tuesdays, any other day of the week except Thursday can usually be accomodated if enough advance notice is given. However, non-Tuesday TUNA talks (MUNA, WUNA, FUNA) are subject to room availability and may suffer from lower attendance due to potential audience members having other committments, especially during the school year. TUNA talks are never done on Thursdays due to conflicts with the weekly pizza lunch and colloquium.
