Looking ahead...CERN and the LHC

Ok, I know it's a bit (if not a lot) geeky, but I've just managed to arrange a tour of the Large Hadron Collider at CERN in Geneva...very excited.

I contacted a Teddy Hall (St. Edmund Hall, Oxford) Physicist who has just returned from the LHC, and he put me in touch with two other Oxford physicists who are currently at CERN and on the project who seem quite delighted to give us a back-door look around.  Nice. 

It's not until June 15th, on the way back home, but I can't wait.
