In 2024 CERN celebrates its 70th anniversary, and we begin this week's digest featuring two retrospective articles, the first being "CERN70: Foundations for European Science" , a fascinating article adapted from François de Rose's 2004 book "Infinitely CERN": https://home.cern/news/series/cern70/cern70-foundations-european-science
And second, featuring CERN's Deputy Director for Research and Computing, Pippa Wells' Nature article, "The particle-physics breakthrough that paved the way for the Higgs boson: The discovery of 'weak neutral currents' at Europe's particle-physics research centre CERN 50 years ago was a decisive step towards establishing the standard model of particle physics — a journey that continues to this day": https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-023-02296-z
