We meet in the Howard House Seminar room at 1.15pm on Wednesday, usually once every two weeks. You can find the upcoming talks on the Junior Number Theory Seminar Events web page. If you want to be added in the JNTS mailing list, or you wish to give a talk, please e-mail me.
From the beginning of May, Jo Dwyer has been co-organizing the Seminar.
