Join us for a day that celebrates the advance of human knowledge! Come and hear from scientific luminaries responsible for defining the modern landscape of physics and working to transform it in the future. Presentations by Nobel and Breakthrough Prize winners will describe some of the most exciting topics in science today, followed by talks by Perimeter researchers on how these are being pursued now, and culminating with animated panel conversations on how breakthrough science was, is and will be done.
