Science communication...



An inspiring extended weekend which had potential to put our small insignificant existence into a higher context. It was due to the final SET-Routes School Ambassador event (motivating young girls to go into science) that we had the chance to visit CERN, "the world's largest particle physics laboratory" (remember the presumed end of the world last September - "Ce parere aveti, credeti ca vine sfarsitul lumii/ ca ne inghite o gaura neagra/ ca se joaca de-a Dumnezeu?). I'll let more qualified people than myself talk and sing about it (MUST see). And talking about science communication, this might also be a way of letting people know that CERN does exist. Yes, old news, but in the cinemas from the 15th of May. And while the web it's celebrating its 20th anniversary, random kitchen tiles in Lausanne are still waiting for brilliant ideas and lasting motivations during young Sunday hours...

I enjoyed that bit on TED with Brian Cox (http://www.ted.com/index.php/talks/brian_cox_on_cern_s_supercollider.html) ; it's very well explained. Thanks!
