Panel Session: 'Forest vs Trees'
Lauren Hayward - Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics , Sabrina Pasterski - Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics , Anthony Leggett - University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign , Donna Strickland - University of Waterloo , Timothy Hsieh - Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics
Some scientific puzzles require a hyper-focussed (perhaps obsessive) attention to specific questions; others need a zoomed-out, interdisciplinary viewpoint. Some combination of both is often the route to breakthroughs. Panelists will share how they strive to see both the forest and the trees when…Perimeter Researcher Talk - 'Into the woods ... ... and through the trees to gravity, amplitudes, and CFTs'

Panel Session: Luck vs Grit
Asimina Arvanitaki - Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics , Arthur B. McDonald - Queen's University , Katie Mack
What is the role of luck and serendipity in discovery, and how much is sheer grit? Come hear from a Nobel laureate, Breakthrough prize winners, and several of the most exciting physicists working today on how luck -- or the lack of it -- shapes discovery.
