Description

The stories of some under-represented and under-appreciated scientists in Particle Physics.

Abstract: Modern day particle physics is a global effort, with multiple countries and cultures contributing the advancement of the field. In many ways, this has not changed since the advent of the field in the early 1900s. What has changed is the recognition we give to all the excellent scientists who have done the work. The lives of under-privileged physicists of the past seldom make it into history books. During this two hour course, we will share some of their stories.
