Christian, husband, senior fellow @ISOLDEatCERN working with the ISOLDE Solenoidal Spectrometer, likes nerdy things 🤓🤓

[I'm a Scientist Team @imascientist]

🌌 In the #CERNZone, students are able to ask questions about up-to-date nuclear physics, and speak to physicists at the top of their field.

Take a look at a recent Chat:

[Patrick MacGregor @ptmacg]

It would appear a tiny @ProfBrianCox has had a visit to the best lab at CERN 😂😂

[Science and Technology Facilities Council @STFC_Matters]

Tiny Brian's Tiny Tour of @CERN: episode 2 is finally here! 🙌

Join #TinyBrian as he explores @ISOLDEatCERN and discovers isotopes in the closest you can get to modern-day alchemy. 🧙‍♂️

What's next? Find out next week in another tiny @profbriancox feature! 🎥

[Patrick MacGregor @ptmacg]

Hoping the filming at @ISOLDEatCERN made it onto this!

[Spencer Kelly @spenley]

Some shots from the programme to tempt you...

[I'm a Scientist Team @imascientist]

In the CERN Zone, James is interested to know a bit more about how AI is having an effect on physics.

Teachers, deepen your students understanding of experimental nuclear physics by giving them access to the CERN Zone!

@STFC_Matters

[I'm a Scientist Team @imascientist]

Phew!

Thanks to the physicists in the #CERNZone for alleviating some fears... 😅

[I'm a Scientist Team @imascientist]

AI is in all the headlines, so you'd better believe it's on the students' minds too.

In a recent live Chat in the #CERNZone, the physicists break down how they're currently using AI in their work 🤖

[Patrick MacGregor @ptmacg]

Loved reading this @paulmathole! Missing all your Star Wars references on Sundays 😭

[Patrick MacGregor @ptmacg]

It seems @DuolingoFrance is very optimistic about my future...

[Patrick MacGregor @ptmacg]

One of our students from @OfficialUoM hard at work at the @ISOLDEatCERN solenoidal spectrometer

[I'm a Scientist Team @imascientist]

In the CERN Zone, students aged 16 to 18 are diving deeper into modern science.

That includes getting real-time updates from the physicists at the heart of these experimental nuclear physics projects.

Read the most recent update from @ISOLDEatCERN! https://t.co/CRGv2ZWYpJ

[I'm a Scientist Team @imascientist]

How do physicists at @CERN use magnets and lasers in their work? 🧲⚡

That was the topic of this week's open Chat, and the students learned alot!

Take a look at what was discussed below👇

[I'm a Scientist Team @imascientist]

Nuclear energy has been a big point of discussion in recent times.

Check out what @CERN scientists have to say about the possibility of nuclear powered cars in a recent Chat!

[I'm a Scientist Team @imascientist]

The jump from A level to university is always a bit of a shock to the system

See what some CERN scientists have to say about the differences between the two!

My parents are visiting me in Geneva for the first time since I started working at @ISOLDEatCERN @CERN, and I was asked if "Mr Higgs or Mr Boson still visit" 😂😂😂 #myparentsarenotphysicists

@hywelowen Perhaps they're allergic to soft Italian cream cheeses (https://t.co/qAN5gmfJ4I)

[Science and Technology Facilities Council @STFC_Matters]

We love supporting @imascientist!

It gives students direct access to scientists, often for the first time, and the freedom to ask weird and wonderful questions.

If you’d like your students to chat to our researchers, you can find out how here: https://t.co/AdLKKud01B

If exotic isotopes are your thing, meet the @ISOLDEatCERN team ☢:

#UKatCERN @livuniphysics Annie and @lpgaff, @UoMphysics @Dr Sharpy and @ptmacg, and @physicsatYork Chris

Learn about ISOLDEs' research 👇

[I'm a Scientist Team @imascientist]

In the #CERN zone, students have been asking the STEM professionals on their different pathways into a career in nuclear physics

Take a look to see what they said below 👇

@STFC_Matters @CERN

[Patrick MacGregor @ptmacg]

Currently chatting with students in the CERN zone on @imascientist - we are having some excellent questions coming in!

[Science and Technology Facilities Council @STFC_Matters]

The ISOLDE Solenoidal Spectrometer (ISS) is a new tool built to study exotic nuclei. 🔬⚛

The ISS has been constructed through a collaboration between @DaresburyLab, @OfficialUoM and @LivUni . 👩‍🔬👨🏾‍🔬

@lpgaff @ISOLDEatCERN @CERN Thanks Liam 😂

[Patrick MacGregor @ptmacg]

Officially started working at @ISOLDEatCERN @CERN as a new Fellow, and looking forward to working further with the ISOLDE Solenoidal Spectrometer! Also, the weather is much nicer in Geneva than in the UK at this time of year #myjobisawesome
