    An engaging lecture by Dr Pauline Gagnon covering the standard model Higgs boson- basically an overview of particle physics. It was delivered like a story, it was a train of thought with questions that many people have but seldom try to answer. But this lecture encouraged us to think further and informed of the importance of research in the area.
  • Muhammad Abubakr Hafeez
    It's been an outstanding lecture through starting to ending..some points are not cleared deeply although there is shortage of time as I know...but over all I gained a lot of knowledge and information from this lecture
