On Friday we discussed the mid-term review of the ongoing feasibility study for a huge future circular collider at CERN. I should write more about that whole thing soon, but for now, here’s a link to me and Tara Shears talking about it with Justin Webb on the BBC Radio 4’s today programme. (About 07:50, 5 February, just after thought for the day.)
Hopefully this link works: https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b006qj9z
See below from Louie, one of the people who made it happen, and below that for a flavour my extra Cape Town excursion, thank to James Keaveney.
A couple of weeks ago I had fun doing a podcast with Robinson Erhardt where we discussed the above and a few other things. Hopefully it will give you some insights into particle physics and how we do it, as well as (unintentionally as I hadn’t quite clocked that there would be video) into my son’s bedroom, which is my home office while he’s at Uni.
Thanks Robinson for the invite and chat.
