Sponsorship from Curiosity stream made this whole trip to CERN possible - funding flights and accommodation for two people - so a big thanks to them. To all my willing interviewees who I peppered with questions - Clara, Sam & Aaron - you guys are the best for giving up your time. Also, a giant THANK YOU to Michaela Livingston-Banks (of Nailing Science fame) who took time away from the desk to follow me around with a camera all week. And a HUGE thank you to Stephanie Hills at CERN for scheduling this whole trip - she was my inbox fairy ❤️
Background music is “Surviving the Asteroid Belt” from the YouTube audio library.
