Professor David W. Hertzog from the University of Washington will give the 2011 Helmut W. Baer Lecture in Physics. He will give the lecture, "Precision Muon Physics: Capturing a Moment in a Lifetime."

The Helmut W. Baer Lecture Fund is a special lecture supported by a fund established by the family and friends of Dr. Helmut Baer. Dr. Baer's career in physics began with his work at the University of Michigan in 1967 where he was awarded his doctorate in nuclear physics. Between 1967 and 1991 he published over 100 articles in major scientific journals covering different areas of physics. Dr. Baer was named a Fellow of the American Physical Society in March of 1989, and to his delight enjoyed countless opportunities over the years to talk about physics at universities and conferences internationally. Dr. Baer not only pursued physics, but set himself standards for quality that were first class.
