Quarks and Sparks is a new event in which bachelor students in Physics and Astronomy are able to get into contact with master students and/or PhD candidates from different research groups. We would like to invite one PhD candidate or master student to give
a short presentation (15 minutes) during the lunch break on Wednesdays in the period from the 4th of February until the 18th of March. These meeting will be held in Spectrum 2 in the VO building. The talk will be for a group of around 20 physics bachelor students.
In your talk you could focus on your experience with your research group and/or a bit about your current work as a PhD or master student. After your presentation there will be room (about 15 minutes) for the bachelor students to ask questions. Lunch and drinks
will be provided. </div>

We would like to host one session a week, depending on the enthusiasm of the bachelor students. The first session will be Wednesday 4 February at 12:50. (If you are available and able to join for another session on Wednesdays during this period, that would
also be great!)</div>
