The Magnetic Seminar

This is a workshop-like seminar on the dynamics of magnetic fields in astrophysical plasmas. It will be held usually twice a month, in the first week of the month on a Monday in Dundee and in the third week of the month on a Wednesday in St. Andrews. Below a list of previous and upcomming talks.
