Today marks seven years since I arrived at @CERN to work for @CMSexperiment. This is what I looked a few days after I first got here. 1/n
To celebrate these seven years, here are some of the things I've done since Day One: 2/n
… helped organise #ResearchersNight 2012 at @CMSexperiment:
… guided student groups on @CMSexperiment visits…
… guided my friends, family and strangers from @reddit on @CMSexperiment visits…
See for example:
