Cosmos, Cancer, Criticality and Chromoplasmology. These seemingly unrelated phenomena have a common root in the dynamics of many-body problems, which happens to be an interdisciplinary field that connects many aspect of particle and nuclear physics. Along the path to the understanding of the dynamics of multiple particle production in hadron and nuclear collisions, one often has to embark on different aspects of many-body physics, from cosmology, cancer treatment, neuroscience, chaos, to self-organized criticality and their applications to other real world problems. On the occasion of Rudy Hwa's 80th birthday and in celebration of his scientific endeavors, we plan to hold a one-day symposium, "Cosmos, Cancer, Criticality and Chromoplasmology" in the Wallingford Room of Watertown, Seattle, on May 6, 2012, to reflect on the interdisciplinary nature of physics, the progresses and future aspects in these different areas of scientific research.
