Basic science is common to all humankind and helps unify the world, even among nations in political conflict. "Where do we come from?" and "Why do we exist?" are global themes driving scientific research. Recent examples include collaborations among Israel, Iran and the Palestinian Authority.
Join two UC Berkeley scientists who are world leaders in their fields-theoretical particle physicist Hitoshi Murayama and particle astrophysics experimentalist Bernard Sadoulet-for a look at how scientific research has brought people from different nations, religions, races, cultures, languages and ideologies to work together toward common goals.
Dr. Camille Crittenden, Deputy Director of CITRIS (Center for Information Technology Research in the Interest of Society) and formerly Executive Director of the Human Rights Center at Berkeley Law, will introduce Professors Murayama and Sadoulet and set the context for the discussion.
