LA 3 NET Fellow (see below for silly acronym) Jakob Cramer checking a magnetic lens for particle beams Accelerators like the Diamond Light Source and high power laser facilities are at the glamorous end of physics, so what better way to get a taster for some of the amazing career opportunities for scientists and engineers than a symposium for sixth formers exploring this remarkable world? Unfortunately the symposium at the Liverpool Convention Centre this Friday is sold out, but the good news is that you (or students you teach) can still 'attend' in a virtual way via webcast. That will be available here , and they've even got Brian Cox, so who could resist? If you'd like some more details, here is the inevitable press release: FROM PIECING THE COSMIC JIGSAW TO IMAGING PROTEINS Lasers and Accelerators symposium set to inspire next generation of accelerator scientists and engineers says Cockcroft Director “You could be working at the forefront of human ...
