eLearning Collaborative

Today has been much more relaxed, and not as heavy on the schedule. Basically
what we have done so far is receive some very nice and high tech video cameras
and interview local scientists with them. This is basically for a video that we
will have finished by the end of the weekend that we need to hand into the CERN
people just for some more public relations material.

    We have interviewed three scientists. Two of them being
Experimental Physicists (Robert Clare and Sandra Ciocio), and the other one, a
Theorist (Malcolm Fairbairn). The difference between Experimental Physicists
and Theorists is that the Experimentalists work on building the machine so that
it actually gives us accurate data, which they also collect, while the Theorists
examine the data and try to explain what it could mean. Their job as of the
past few years and now, is to try and predict some of the possible outcomes of
this.

    Well right now (4:20 Swiss time) the whole group of
students and quarknet people are headed out to Geneva for dinner and other stuff, so I have
to split (haha like a proton...). The video we are working on will not be done
for a few days, but should be up on YouTube soon afterwards...I think.
