As you may know, the CLF headed North this July to help engage more than 5,000 visitors on @DaresburyLab Open Day! 🤩

We are so chuffed that we were able to be a part of this incredible event.

Happy Friday! What’s your favourite thing about #lasers? ✨😍

(Here are some of the answers from staff and visiting schoolchildren yesterday)💥

That’s me! 😎

Today as part of our week-long celebration of #LightDay23 we gave Vulcan and EPAC tours, and a talk to kids from several local schools!

The talk was on how to create a supernova using a powerful laser! 💥✨

We are here to learn some new skills so that we can better communicate how amazing our lasers are! 💥🔬⚛️😊

Loved creating this artwork for this amazing team 😊

Loving these selfies 🤳

[Central Laser Facility @CLF_STFC]

Happy #LightDay2022! Today is a very special day for us as it's the birthday of the laser!✨

To celebrate lasers all the amazing science we can do with them, CLF staff are going to share some selfies live from their favourite laser labs today 😎

Stay tuned!

[Helen Towrie @HTowrie]

Very excited to give tours in this amazing building! ✨

[Central Laser Facility @CLF_STFC]

EPAC’s experimental area 1. This room is where the laser will come in and hit its target, allowing us to do a huge range of experiments from advanced imaging to particle acceleration.

[Helen Towrie @HTowrie]

OMG HOW DID I MISS THIS ✨👀

[Central Laser Facility @CLF_STFC]

Helen Towrie is our engagement officer (and doesn't know I'm doing this... sorry boss!). An artist by training, she's responsible for getting the CLF onto Pokemon Go with her stunning illustration...
