Yáñez Reyes (University of Amsterdam an d NIKHEF.)\n\nWelcome to Master Your Physics 2021\, an online conference by master's students for master's students! \n\nDuring the conference we will discus a wide variety of topics in physics through a wide variety of setups. There will be talks from top-class speakers across institutions f rom all over the world. We will have discussion sessions on hot topics in physics as well as on social topics. Furthermore\, local Ph.D. students wi ll present some of their research\, so that master's students can get acqu ainted with life as a Ph.D. already at an early stage in their careers. Th e conference will take place from June 14-18 2021.\n\nJoin us at:\nhttps ://zoom.us/j/94131753632?pwd=KzRkcFBXN1pBNlZlTE8xMngxWG5Ddz09\nMeeting ID: 941 3175 3632\nPasscode: 140621\n \n\nTalks\nWe scheduled 2 hours for ea ch talk\, these consist of:\n- 45 min. presentation\n- 15 min. questions \n- up to one hour unrecorded discussion regarding the talk (local staf f is cordially invited!)\nExceptions for this scheme are the talks by Gid eon Koekoek and Stefan Hild (Thursday at 10:00)\, these will be held one a fter another. Thereafter\, there is up to one hour for discussions as well . \nDuring presentations everyone should feel free to ask questions using the "raise hand" button in zoom\, unless the speaker or moderator objects . However\, we would kindly like to ask the audience to keep in mind that talks are primarily aimed at master's students. \n\nDiscussion Sessions\n We have two discussion sessions on big questions and broad topics in phys ics:\n- On Monday at 19:00\, we will have a philosophically flavored deb ate on the interpretation of quantum mechanics. \n- On Friday at 17:00\ , we will face climate change and discuss the future of energy.\nDuring those sessions a panel of experts will give their opinion on the matter   and provide some illuminating conversations. The sessions will take at mos t 2 hours. The audience is of course welcome to ask questions. \n\nConve rsations on... (Amsterdam only)\nNot directly related to physics\, but ver y relevant for physicists\, we host two interactive sessions on social to pics:\n- On Tuesday at 19:00\, we will discuss the negative correlation b etween academic level and the number of women in physics\, called "the Lea ky Pipeline."\n- On Thursday at 19:00\, we will talk about mental health  for young physicists during their master's or Ph.D.'s.\nWe invited very knowledgeable panelists do discuss these topics with the audience. Due to the confidential nature of these sessions\, we decided to not record them and only invite Amsterdam students and staff. People who show up late\, wi ll not be allowed to enter the room. \n\nPh.D. sessions\nLast but not lea st\, we will host six sessions for master's students to get acquainted wi th some of the most exciting research in Amsterdam. These consist of:\n- 3 research related presentations by Ph.D.'s (20 min. talk + 10 min. questi ons)\n- Up to 30 minutes time for informal conversations about life as Ph. D.\nWe will host Ph.D. sessions for research related to:\n- Gravitation an d Astroparticle Physics (Tuesday at 12:00)\n- Advanced Matter and Energy Physics (Tuesday at 14:00)\n- Biophysics & Biophotonics (Wednesday at  14:00)\n- Science for Energy & Sustainability (Wednesday at 16:00)\n- The oretical Physics (Thursday at 14:00)\n- Astronomy and Astrophysics (Frida y at 12:30)\n\nInteraction time\nJoin us on our online spaceship in Gathe r Town between sessions and let's talk physics!\n\n""""""""""""""""""""""" """""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""" """""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""" """""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""\n\nCon firmed Speakers:\nDanielle Bassett - Rick van Bijnen -  Robbert Dijkgraa f - Francisco Förster - Wiliam Gracias - Stefan Hild - Gideon Koekoek - Teresa Montaruli - Carlo Rovelli - Leonard Susskind - Jesse Thaler - D avid Tong - Jan Zaanen - Jun Zhu \n\nConfirmed Panelists:\nValerie Betta que - Mailis Birsak - Alessandra Candian - Raoul Frese - Machiel Keestra - Joost van Mameren - Jan van Marseveen - F.A.
