The seven talks in this event celebrate the life and work of Professor Donald ‘Don’ Perkins CBE FRS (1925 – 2022), who during his extensive and prolific career played a key role in the development of particle physics research since the 1940’s when the electron, proton and neutron were the only known fundamental particles to the discovery of the Higgs boson in the early 2000’s.
The videos will appeal to general public interested in particle physics and the history behind current research in fields as diverse as medicine, cancer research, cosmic rays, climate science, neutrons, and more.
