Don
Lincoln is now a senior physicist at Fermi National Accelerator
Laboratory and splits his research time studying data from the Fermilab
Tevatron and from the CERN Large Hadron Collider, located outside Geneva
Switzerland.
He is co-author of over 500 scientific publications that range over subjects from microscopic black holes and extra dimensions to the elusive Higgs boson. His two most noteworthy scientific accomplishments include being part of the teams that discovered the top quark and what is likely to be the Higgs boson.
When Dr. Lincoln isn’t exploring the energy frontier, he enjoys communicating the excitement of his cutting edge research with the public. He is a popular writer because of his ability to explain fundamental particle physics in a deeply meaningful way and because of his fine sense of humor. So far he published two books which have been translated into Polish, Russian, German and Chinese. “Understanding the Universe: From Quarks to the Cosmos” and “The Quantum Frontier: The Large Hadron Collider” explain particle physics for the public. His third book (Alien Universe: Extraterrestrials in our Minds and in the Cosmos) combines astrobiology and popular reports of alien visitation to weave together a complete tale of the possibility of life from other planets.
