A Panel Discussion and Q&A
Tuesday, February 24, 2009
4:30 – 5:30 p.m.
Bodek Lounge, Houston Hall
3417 Spruce Street
The study of the microscopically small and the unimaginably large are no longer distinct realms of inquiry. In the first of a series of events hosted by the Center for Particle Cosmology, leading experts will consider what insights modern observations might provide into phenomena such as dark matter, dark energy and the physics of the early universe.
Panelists Include:
Vijay Balasubramanian, Associate Professor of Physics and Astronomy
Bhuvnesh Jain, Associate Professor of Physics and Astronomy
Janna Levin, Assistant Professor of Physics and Astronomy (Barnard College of Columbia University) and author of A Madman Dreams of Turing Machines, winner of the 2007 PEN/Robert Bingham Fellowship for Writers
Mark Trodden, Professor of Physics and Astronomy
Moderated By:
Gino Segre, Emeritus Professor of Physics and Astronomy and author of Faust in Copenhagen: A Struggle for the Soul of Physics
Introduction By:
Tom Lubensky, Chair of the Department of Physics and Astronomy
