SUMMARY:PGSC phenomeNal Open Graduate Seminar\, PGSC Professional Deve
 lopment Seminar\, Greg Loges\, Physics PhD Graduate Student
DESCRIPTION:Slogging through the Swampland<br>
\nOverview: The Landsca
 pe of quantum gravity-derivable theories is surrounded on all sides by
  a vast\, quantum gravity-incompatible Swampland. The aim of the Swamp
 land program is to understand those features which can be used to dist
 inguish these two different regions. In this talk I will give a brief 
 introduction to recent progress in our understanding of quantum gravit
 y and its implications for low-energy physics. I will focus on the wea
 k gravity conjecture and present an overview of our recent work in whi
 ch we use black hole thermodynamics to understand the role of symmetri
 es in demonstrating the conjecture.
