Stanford Colloquium Night: Science & Conversation

I came across another interesting open lecture at Stanford University and thought this could be a great opportunity to explore something completely different — and expand your horizons a bit 🙂
This talk is part of the Applied Physics / Physics Colloquium and will be given by Marek Karliner, a leading theoretical physicist whose work focuses on exotic particles and the fundamental structure of matter. The topic — “Exotic Hadrons” — might sound complex at first, but it’s essentially about the building blocks of our universe and some of the newest discoveries in particle physics, including particles that go beyond what we traditionally learn in school.
Even if you don’t have a background in physics, events like this are a rare chance to step into a world-class academic environment, hear directly from a scientist working at the forefront of discovery, and experience how big ideas about the universe are being explored today. It’s less about understanding every detail and more about being exposed to new ways of thinking and seeing the world.
Just like with other Stanford events, what makes this especially valuable is the crowd it attracts. It’s a great opportunity to meet curious, thoughtful, and intellectually engaged people — students, researchers, and professionals — and connect with others who enjoy learning and exploring new topics. If you like conversations that go beyond the surface, this could be a really fun and different kind of evening.

Feel free to join solo or bring a friend — these events are usually very open and welcoming.
Admission is free and open to students, alumni, and the general public.
