<li>The Particle Physics Project Prioritization Panel, or P5, has released its report that aims to maximize the United States’ investment in the global particle physics enterprise, fueling leadership, discovery and innovation for decades to come.</li>
<li>P5’s membership includes leading researchers from across the globe, including Kendall Mahn of Michigan State University. The group is tasked with recommending research, education and training priorities to federal funding</li>
<li>The panel’s report recommends sustained support for several ambitious and groundbreaking international collaborations — whose members also include MSU students and faculty — that will enable researchers to explore some of the universe’s biggest mysteries.</li>
