Tech Talks


Tech Talks is a forum to connect the Rubin LSST software community, showcasing work by the broad Rubin software and archives community designed to enable LSST science. We hope it will provide a forum for a range of groups and authors to present, learn about, and discuss efforts of interest to analysis of LSST data.

Tech Talks are delivered virtually every second Thursday of the month at 10:00 a.m. Pacific (1:00 p.m. ET, 3:00 p.m. Chile (November and onwards through winter), and 7:00 p.m. Central European Time. You can access it via Zoom at https://ls.st/lincc-talks. The recordings are publicly available generally within a week of the talk. Want to receive future seminar announcements?
