If you are not subscribed to CRL Talks announcements, just sign up using our subscription form. All we require is your email address.

If you still do not want to subscribe to the CRL Talks mailing list, that's okay. Contact the CRL Talks organizer for the details.


UC San Diego offers Zoom Pro when signing on using the SSO option. For more details, please read how you install and configure Zoom. If you wish to engage in conversation or ask questions, you must have a microphone, either built-in or part of a webcam. If you wish to be seen, a camera, either built in or a USB webcam, will be required. Neither of those are a requirement if you just wish to view the talk.
