Theoretical cosmologist by training, CERN alumna Valeria Pettorino became increasingly interested in data analysis and worked on the Euclid and Planck missions before her project- management skills led her to be appointed a director of research at the French CEA. https://cerncourier.com/a/sharing-experience-building-connections/

Today, almost the whole accelerator complex is operational and providing beams to all the experimental facilities as scheduled. The LHC experiments are taking data, while the LHC is nearing the end of the intensity ramp-up phase; already last weekend it was colliding beams with 1200 bunches per beam, one week earlier than initially scheduled.
