PhD Defence Rebecca Forsberg
3 November 2023
Although not part of the workshop, the PhD defence of Rebecca Forsberg's thesis "The Milky Way as seen through Neutron-Capture Elements" will take place on the Friday November 3rd at 9:00 am in Lundmarksalen, Lund Observatory. The defence is an open event and we welcome everyone interested in attending.
