CERN Alumni Weekly News | Second Collisions Award Winner Octavio Dominguez, Upcoming Early-Career Events

“It is truly humbling and touching that after nearly 8 years since I left CERN, people there keep remembering my work and appreciating the contributions I made during my time at CERN as well as all the work I have done afterwards, sharing my passion for science and CERN in my role as a teacher.” CERN alumnus and Second Collisions awardee Octavio Dominguez: https://alumni.cern/news/931299

Next week you can reconnect with fellow CERN alumni during two inspiring events:

• News from the lab on 30 March will focus on CERN’s contributions to innovations in Aerospace and Environmental areas: https://alumni.cern/events/110243
