it was awful -- someone that likes this woman needs to take her aside and tell her that her pp slides are distracting and her talk meanders and misses several opportunities to be say what her research will mean, what are the meaningful so whats that can be taken from all of that, and what's next. The lecture was a bore

Description

Professor Lisa Randall studies theoretical particle physics and cosmology at Harvard University.  Her research connects theoretical insights to puzzles in our current understanding of the properties and interactions of matter. She has developed and studied a wide variety of models to address these questions, the most prominent involving extra dimensions of space. Her work has involved improving our understanding of the Standard Model of particle physics, supersymmetry, baryogenesis, cosmological inflation, and dark matter. Randall’s research also explores ways to experimentally test and verify ideas and her current research focuses in large part on the Large Hadron Collider and dark matter searches and models.
