Menopause and Weight Management: what's new with GLP1 microdosing "

Join the Kavli Institute for Theoretical Physics for the next exciting installment in the KITP Public Lecture series, "Voyage from Outer Space to Inner Space: From Gravitational Waves to the Higgs Boson" with Lance Dixon (SLAC/Stanford).

Two of the most amazing discoveries of the 21st century are gravitational waves and the Higgs boson. Each discovery took great perseverance over nearly half a century. Gravitational waves concern the very large and distant: black holes spiraling into each other millions of light years away. The Higgs boson is about the very small: exploring far inside the atomic nucleus. Even though they seem extremely different, at the most fundamental level, these cosmic and nano events are secretly connected by a relation between Einstein's theory of gravity and the theory of subnuclear forces -- which Dixon will explain, after telling the story of their discovery.

About the speaker:

Lance Dixon grew up in Southern California in the 1960s and 1970s. He attended the California Institute of Technology as an undergraduate and received his PhD in Physics from Princeton University in 1986. He has spent almost his entire career since at SLAC, an accelerator laboratory at Stanford University. Lance studies how elementary particles scatter, with applications to collisions at the Large Hadron Collider, where the Higgs boson was discovered. He was elected to the US National Academy of Sciences in 2022 and received the Galileo Galilei Medal in 2023 for his work on scattering theory.
