Abdus Salam – Setting the Record Straight
Winner of the 1979 Nobel Prize, Prof. Abdus Salam has frequently been the target of attacks launched by jealous colleagues and religious extremists.
In this meeting you will hear the views of – and interact with – Prof. Michael Duff, emeritus professor at Imperial College London. He is a Fellow of the Royal Society, Fellow of the American Physical Society, and the 2017 winner of the Dirac Medal awarded by the Institute of Physics. This will be followed by a discussion with Prof. Qaisar Shafi (theoretical physics) at Delaware University, and Prof. Salam’s former PhD student. He is the winner of Alexander von Humboldt Prize (1997) and member of the American Physical Society.
The context for the event will be laid out by Dr. Pervez Hoodbhoy.
This session is free and open to all. Just visit the venue to attend it.
