I am volunteering to give a series of informal seminars on basic topics in high-energy theoretical physics. Here is a short list of topics:

• quantum field theory: path integrals, Feynman diagrams, etc.
• Yang-Mills theory and the Standard Model
• twistor variables and conformal symmetry
• supersymmetry and supergravity
• string theory

The idea is to give a taste of what the topic is about, without unnecesary details. However, the devil is always in the details, so not much is going to be gain from this. We'll have to wait and see...
