• We proposed a “professional development” workshop at AAAS

• “Have you heard about the Higgs? How to share your science globally.”

• Description: Tired of using Google Translate to prepare your press releases for distribution in Japan? Finding it a challenge to align communication procedures and schedules with international partners? Want to have your science-news story celebrated around the world like the Higgs discovery? Join us at this workshop that will identify the specific strategies and practices that build international science-news collaborations, distinct from international science collaborations. Learn from several media experts based in Europe and Asia as well as the trail-blazing InterAction Collaboration that provides a global platform for coordinating particle-physics communications.

• Parameters• 60 minutes• MC: Katie Yurkewicz• Speakers: Meyer, Youhei Morita/OIST, Vincenzo Napolano/INFN

• “The 2012 discovery of the Higgs boson completed a multi-decade chapter in the progress of particle physics. But is that it? If the Standard Model is now complete, what else is there to do? This session will explore the new questions revealed by the Higgs discovery and discuss the emerging global efforts to pursue these new frontiers. From mysteries of cosmology to precision tests of what we think we already know to complete characterization of the Standard Model’s newcomer the Higgs boson, leading researchers from Europe, Asia, and North America will describe what’s next. Tantalizing opportunities exist to connect the microscopic world of the Standard Model of particle physics to the macroscopic world of cosmology while simultaneously exploring the perplexing problems of integrating quantum mechanics and gravity in a self-consistent framework. New efforts to probe these possibilities are forming and they require global cooperation among thousands of scientists and students sprinkled across nearly a hundred nations. Now is, perhaps, the most exciting moment ever in particle physics.”
