But that's exactly what happened last week as at the annual meeting of the American Junior Academy of Science. February 20, 2008 Physicist describes strange world of quarks, gluonsMIT physics professor John Negele will talk about the theory that governs interactions of quarks and gluons, known as quantum chromodynamics, during a Feb. 17 presentation to the AAAS annual meeting in Boston. February 17, 2008 No easy answers in evolution of human languageThe evolution of human speech was far more complex than is implied by some recent attempts to link it to a specific gene, says MIT Professor Robert Berwick, who will discuss his work Feb. 17 at the AAAS Annual Meeting in Boston.
