OUTLOOK FOR YOUNG MEN IN PHYSICS

Tau Physics 2006: Summary & Outlook

A large amount of new results have been presented at TAU2006. The highlights of the workshop, the present status of a few selected topics on lepton physics (universality, QCD tests, Vus determination from τ decay, g − 2, ν oscillations, lepton-flavour violation) and the prospects for future improvements are briefly summarized.

Suicide in young men.

Suicide is second to only accidental death as the leading cause of mortality in young men across the world. Although suicide rates for young men have fallen in some high-income and middle-income countries since the 1990s, wider mortality measures indicate that rates remain high in specific regions, ethnic groups, and socioeconomic groups within those nations where rates have fallen, and that yo...

Hypogonadism in young men treated for cancer.

An ever-increasing proportion of young males treated for cancer are cured. Therefore, one of the major challenges of modern Clinical Oncology is to ensure good quality of life. Cancer disease per se as well as cancer treatment may have a negative impact on androgen production, thereby leading to subclinical or clinically overt hypogonadism. Since the symptoms of androgen deficiency are rather u...

Summary and Outlook for 9th International Symposium on Heavy Flavor Physics *

This is the summary talk of a meeting held at the California Institute of Technology Sept 10–13, 2001. I do not attempt to summarize all the beautiful experimental results we have seen this week, nor to repeat the lively theoretical discussions that have occurred. Rather I will present my own biased perspective on what we have learned, and on the important tasks that need our attention as we wo...
