A few years ago, the concept of the microbiome emerged, defined as the entirety of microbes, their genetic material, and the interactions they establish in the space where they live. We can find microbiomes in various environments, for example, in the intestines of humans and animals. It is now known that more than 100 trillion microbial cells inhabiting the human
We hope the Galapagos meeting will be to Particle Physics what the Copenhagen meeting was to Quantum Mechanics. A new paradigm lies beyond the Standard Model. The clues hide in experiment (high pT searches, precision measurements, rare decays, neutrinos, cosmology, astrophysics, cosmic rays) and in a multitude of theoretical ideas. Let us advance the solution of the puzzle! The success
