The Scientists

Fri, 04/04/2008 - 16:09 — Larkinl08

    Today we interviewed three scientists today. At first, I was nervous that I wouldn't know what to ask, but the scientists were friendly and explained things in terms we (as high school students) could understand-it was actually pretty easy.

2nd Day-Part 2

Fri, 04/04/2008 - 15:23 — DuboisN09

We just got back from Geneva, and are working like fiends on the videos and other stuff. Geneva was really cool! We went to a bunch of shops and walked around the old part of town, which had some very cool buildings and streets. Our dinner was at this hotel sort of place, and it was kind of meager and VERY expensive (luckily we didn't have to pay for it!). Tomorrow is almost completely booked, but I will be on tomorrow night to update you all with most likely a very large post!

2nd Day-Part 1

Fri, 04/04/2008 - 09:22 — DuboisN09

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.

CMSCMS: central muon solenoid and my favorite picture of the whole day! : the center green part is actually where the particles will fly out of to smash into another

First day is now at a close!

Thu, 04/03/2008 - 15:55 — DuboisN09

After a short jump from Rochester to Philadelphia, an interesting adventure around the Phili
airport, and the long flight from there to Zurich. We were FINALLY in Europe!
We arrived at about 8 AM this morning for Swiss time, and about 2 in the morning
for Rochester (just for future reference, we are 6 hours ahead of you), so we
were pretty tired, and this wasn't helped by the fact that none of us really

Leaving Soon

Wed, 04/02/2008 - 10:00 — dornm08

The research group is gathered with some art students during study block and everyone going is anxious to leave! I can't wait to actually be in transit... the suspense is killing me. I wonder what it will look like when we are there. Hopefully as sunny as it is here.
