Dr Clara Nellist, or ParticleClara as she's more popularly known, is a particle physicist working at CERN. She regularly provides insights into a wide range of ongoing research at CERN, as well as her life as a physicist. bit.ly/49SrsHA

Introducing NERDS On the occasion of CERN’s 70th anniversary, the Organization will change its name to ‘Network of Experiments for Research and Development in Society (NERDS). The name change comes as a result of reflecting our new role in society and encapsulates the nature of

Sad to hear of the passing of Peter Higgs 😔 theguardian.com/science/2024/a…

I was fortunate to meet Peter Higgs in 2013 (days after the Nobel prize announcement). He was modest as he told a group of PhD students the history of the boson theory. Afterwards, I was very lucky to get my copy of the New York Times with the discovery signed by him.

“Besides his outstanding contributions to particle physics, Peter was a very special person, an immensely inspiring figure for physicists across the world, a man of rare modesty, a great teacher and someone who explained physics in a very simple and yet profound way. (1/2)

Excited to have a colloquium on the impact / value / importance / role of science communication today at National Institute for Subatomic Physics Nikhef by Dr Clara Nellist. Very important to have more scientists aware and no one in the institute better equipped to explain this than Clara indico.nikhef.nl/event/5204/

Tomorrow, I'll be giving a live public lecture at Perimeter Institute and streamed simultaneously on YT: Title: From hydrogen to Higgs bosons When: 8th May, 7pm EDT youtube.com/live/nFZSFKl39…

What the heck is a glueball? I'm no particle physicist so I found one to help me understand the latest glueball research! Have we found a new particle? Clara Nellist helps us understand what's going on in the world of particle physics!

The moment we stopped watching Bridgerton Let us explain ... Things were going great and we were really getting into Season 3. That is until we watched this scene unfold before our eyes ....

Couple of days in Warsaw during the Women in Tech Summit. Over 10 thousand participants and stimulating discussions on inclusiveness in the Tech industry. Thanks the invitation and congratulations to all organizers for such an event. 🚀I am participating in the Fireside Chat

#SaveTheDate: This year’s annual #ESAOpenDays in the Netherlands are set for 5-6 October, at ESA ESTEC. Registration to attend will be opened later this summer - stay tuned! 🔗esa.int/About_Us/ESTEC…

I've lost count how many times this is now 🥲 #LondonMarathon

Let’s celebrate ESA's Euclid mission’s first birthday 🎉 Come on a journey with us to discover the secrets of the #DarkUniverse 🧵

To increase the scientific return from our science missions, we're looking for scientists interested in research based on publicly available data in the ESA Space Science Archives. Check out our Archival Research Visitor Programme 👉 cosmos.esa.int/web/esdc/visit…

Held a fantastic #UKatCERN get together yesterday evening at CERN, ahead of the #CERN70 celebrations next week. As always, good to catch up with Dr Clara Nellist, @Sci_of_Steph and many other 🇬🇧 colleagues working at CERN.

Such a shame I'm not in the UK for this, it looks great! ⏬

I could have gone further and calculated the mass of protons in the hurricane, but I think the point was made. youtu.be/vC5hwVaFRtg #hurricane​ #CERN​ #ParticleAccelerator
