CERN Alumni Weekly News | Third Collisions discounted ticket till 31st of October, Brussels and Texas meet-ups, interview with Will Flanagan
“For me, the most enjoyable part is reliving my first impressions of CERN through my students eyes, because you can't do it justice. You can explain that the beam has world's highest energy or that such and such is world's largest type of this detector, all the superlatives, but to actually see it, is a different thing.” CERN alumnus, Will Flanagan, shares his joy in facilitating CERN visits for his students: https://alumni.cern/news/1733177
Beyond his passion for science and education, Will also serves as one of the co-managers of the CERN Alumni Texas group. The group is currently organising an exciting, hybrid event on October 31st to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the discovery of the W and Z Bosons: https://alumni.cern/events/125055
