Registration is encouraged for this event! There will be limited space for walk-ups (first come, first serve).

At CERN’s Large Hadron Collider (LHC), protons collide at nearly the speed of light, unleashing a particle party that might reveal secrets beyond our wildest theories. But sifting through that data is like looking for a needle in a haystack—a needle unlike anything we’ve seen before. Join us at the Dutch Goose on May 8 at 5 p.m., when SLAC Panofsky Fellow Julia Gonski will dive into the mind-blowing world of particle physics and spill the beams on how scientists at the LHC are using artificial intelligence to hunt for new physics that could shake up our understanding of the universe. Grab a pint, discover what’s new in the particle zoo, and stick around after the talk for trivia, giveaways, and hands-on fun that’ll bring the subatomic world to life. It’s going to be a smashing time!
