  1. On the GANIL facility tour last Friday I saw a separated sector #cyclotron (too big for the frame but you can see one sector's magnet in green) and a beamline where they were trying to make super-heavy elements by colliding a mid-mass ion beam with heavy element target.

  2. Big Science by Michael Hiltzik, 2015

    Ernest Lawrence and the Invention That Launched the Military-Industrial Complex

    From a Pulitzer Prize–winning journalist and Los Angeles Times contributor, the untold story of how science went “big,” built the bombs that helped win World War II, and became dependent on government and industry—and the forgotten genius who started it all, Ernest Lawrence.

  4. Meet PENeLOPE aka Precision Experiment on the Neutron Lifetime Operating on Proton Extraction at TRIUMF in The University of British Columbia (my alma mater) 💎

    Went behind the scenes with Theoretical Physicist Carlos de Lima who toured me & Tech2Step Canada this week.

    More to follow, including the biggest prototype I’ve ever seen at Canada’s most colourful #cyclotron #ParticleAccelerator #ForScience #BTS #WomenInSTEAM
