KITP

Physics for the Inquiring Mind

This very popular series of 3-4 public lectures each year takes advantage of the presence of so many distinguished scientists, come to collaborate on the most fascinating and challenging questions in their fields. Our speakers have included, among others, Stephen Hawking, Murray-Gellmann, Robert Kirshner, Peter Galison, Jeffrey Marcy, John Grunsfeld, Lawrence Krauss, Nathan Lewis and Samuel Wang. Presentations have included the search for new planets, projects at the large hadron collider (LHC), how the brain works, challenges for global energy, the potential in the human genome, black holes and the physics of Star Trek.

The presentations put you in touch with people and research that is transforming our understanding of the universe. Friends of KITP receive priority seat reservations, and an informal reception follows each lecture.
