Jim talks with Joe Davighi about gauge flavor unification. Joe's work is on a set of gauge theories that unify the various generations of leptons at high energies. We discuss gauge symmetries, symmetry breaking, and so on, as well as some implications of his work including leptoquarks and proton stability.
