How do I use this calendar?

You can click on an event to display further information about it.

The toolbar above the calendar has buttons to view different events. Use the left and right arrow icons to view events in the past and future. The button inbetween returns you to today's view. The button to the right of this shows a mini-calendar to let you quickly jump to any date.

The dropdown box on the right allows you to see a different view of the calendar, such as an agenda or a termly view.

If this calendar has tags, you can use the labelled checkboxes at the top of the page to select just the tags you wish to view, and then click "Show selected". The calendar will be redisplayed with just the events related to these tags, making it easier to find what you're looking for.

Duncan Forgan (St Andrews)
PS1.28
Worlds Stranger Than We Can Suppose
I will describe my research in various aspects of astrobiology. The seminar will be split into two parts. In the first I will illustrate, using my work on climate modelling of planets in binary systems and exomoons, precisely how "habitability is a four letter word". I will show that the habitable zone concept is worn very thin in these cases, and I will counsel against over-reliance on it.
In the second, I will detail some of my work on the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI). I will outline my development of new techniques for leveraging current and future astronomical surveys to obtain constraints on intelligent activity, and their subsequent use in analysis of the anomalous Tabby's star (KIC 8462582). Despite my belief that the SETI endeavour will fail, I will end by presenting an argument for continuing, a "pessimist's plea for SETI".
