Conference Announcement: The 24th JSPS “Science in Japan” Forum (Washington, D.C.)

The 24th JSPS “Science in Japan” Forum will be held on Friday June 7th, 2019, from 1:00 – 5:30pm at the Cosmos Club in Washington, DC.  This forum, themed “New Eyes on the Universe,” will explore how 'New Eyes' such as neutrino and gravitational wave detectors are adding completely new kinds of information to our understanding of the universe. The ability of each detector is surely improving, but more remarkable is that the simultaneous observation by different kinds of detectors is opening new aspects of the universe.
