James D. Bjorken (1934-2024) was a giant of theoretical physics.  Beyond his original contributions to all aspects of particle physics, Bj personified the idea that progress in physics is driven by the pure joy of exploration.   This symposium brings together many of Bj's friends and colleagues to review his life and work.

Speakers will include:   Helen Quinn, Fred Gilman, Stan Brodsky, Chris Quigg, Sekazi Mtingwa, Cyrus Taylor, Davison Soper, Larry McLerran, Natalia Toro, and members of Bj's family. 

The meeting will be web-cast at the following Zoom link:
