Dine-Haber symposium in Santa Cruz

Posted on 8:29 AM by Unknown
Between Friday and Sunday, particle physicists organized a spectacular symposium in Santa Cruz to celebrate the 60th birthdays of Michael Dine (left) and Howard Haber (right).



The website of the symposium shows that the program was impressive and included speakers such as Gross, Seiberg, Witten, Arkani-Hamed, Kane, Susskind, Allanach, Grossman, and others.




I spent the first half of the year 2000 in this department inside the UCSC campus – with lots of redwoods around – so I know these two great physicists.



Santa Cruz Sentinel wrote a few words about the event.

Congratulations to Michael and Howard!
