The Scientists of CERN

So far the teacher's project I am working on is going well. We started the day with our first lecture in Cosmology and then we sat in on the second part of Rolf Landua's lecture on Antimatter. After lunch we all got stuck into our projects and 4 hours later, there is still not a person to be seen out on the terrace enjoying the evening. The dedication is really something to marvel at, as all the teachers here are either on their summer holidays, or winter holidays. The amount of work going into the projects means that we will all have something useful to take back and share with our students and communities about CERN and Physics.

Tomorrow we continue to interview prominent female scientists for our project, take our final lecture on cosmology and check out the medical applications of the research that is and has taken place through nuclear physics.

  1. Hi Juliana
    Such late nights studying!
    Applications for CERN research in our daily lives will be very interesting to find out about. My students will be keen to hear about this when you're our key note speaker. Do they talk about The Grid at all?
    Cheers Ric
