the University of California at Santa Cruz, distinguished visiting speaker at the University of California Davis, Dozer Lecturer at Ben-Gurion University, Lewiner Lecturer at the Technion in Tel-Aviv, and an American Physical Society Centennial Speaker. In 2017, Kane was awarded the prestigious, J. J. Sakurai Prize for Theoretical Particle Physics. The prize, considered one of the most prestigious in physics, was awarded for his work on the theory of the properties, reactions, and signatures of the Higgs boson. He has two popular books for any curious reader, “The Particle Garden”, focusing on the Standard Model, and “Supersymmetry and Beyond” focusing on physics beyond the Standard Model, including string/M-theory. And he is a frequent contributor to Edge.org. Books with John F.
