On 12–14 May, the 16th BM@N Collaboration Meeting is taking place at VBLHEP. Over 140 scientists are discussing the fixed-target experiment at the NICA Accelerator Complex. Special attention is paid to the BM@N physics run that ended in April, which resulted in a record 2.75 billion collected events.

8 May marks the birth of the USSR Plenipotentiary to JINR, Chair of the USSR State Committee on the Utilisation of Atomic Energy Andranik Petrosyants (1906–2005). The academician was an honorary doctor of JINR and a number of other scientific centres, finding time for educational, research, and literary activities.

Please enjoy a review of the second part of this year’s volume of Physics of Elementary Particles and Atomic Nuclei, a journal that publishes articles with results of the original theoretical, experimental, scientific and technical, methodical, and applied research.

From 1 to 11 July, Dubna will host the Element 105 physics workshop as part of the annual Summer School. Special attention will be paid to research at leading international and Russian facilities. Natural science and engineering students from 18 to 25 are welcome to participate.

Everyone interested is welcome to the JINR Gallery to try slow looking, the practice of deep and attentive interaction with a work of art. Please note the places are limited. Registration is available at gallery@jinr.ru.

The JINR Telegram channel shared an archival photo of the Institute. Take a look at Nikolay Bogoliubov and his student Vadim Solovyov walking along the Volga embankment.

The May issue of Science and Life features Vladimir Kekelidze speaking about the NICA Accelerator Complex, its research tasks and experiments studying dense baryonic matter.

The new guest in the series of talks dedicated to Dubna, the scientific community, and the people who created JINR’s history is a leading researcher at the MLIT JINR Scientific Department of Computational Physics Nikolay Dikusar.

While waiting for the new episode, you are welcome to look at our hosts and guesting scientists depicted as if they were drawn in MS Paint.

An MLIT senior researcher Evgeny Alexandrov took third place at the overall standings and first place among the Institute’s employees during the JINR chess tournament, which gathered 40 participants. Congratulations to the athletes!
