<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:black">Abstract:</span></b><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:black"> Our Solar System contains not only planets, but also many smaller bodies, like asteroids and comets. These bodies are collectively
called 'debris', and they tend to be concentrated in 'debris discs' like the Asteroid Belt and Kuiper Belt. We can image extrasolar Kuiper Belts around other stars too, and these belts exhibit a broad diversity of shapes and features. These shapes are often
attributed to interactions with unseen exoplanets. In this talk I give a broad overview of debris discs, including observations, dynamics and evolution. I also explain what debris discs teach us about exoplanets and their historical evolution, and outline
what the biggest outstanding questions are. For this talk I assume no prior knowledge, and try to make it accessible to a wide range of seniorities and experience levels.</span><o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt"> </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">We will have our usual schedule: going for lunch around 13:00, “Meet the Speaker” is at 15:00 (in A113) and the talk starts at 15:45 (in Physics Building, C4). The day will be followed by wine and cheese,
and most importantly grapes and grape scissors.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
