I am extremely excited to share the article I wrote about my research at CERN that was published today at exploreCurioCity.org!  Here’s a little excerpt:

When I was in high school, I spent my summers reading issues of science magazines that I had collected during the school year. I distinctly remember cutting out a big photo of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN when it first opened in 2010. I was inspired by the physicists working on cutting-edge science experiments and I pinned their stories to my corkboard. Fast-forward five years, and I’ve completed an undergraduate degree in physics. Now I’m doing graduate research at CERN myself!

What is CurioCity?

CurioCity is the online magazine run by Let’s Talk Science, an award-winning national charitable organization that I started volunteering for in 2013.

CurioCity is designed for use in the classroom, and contains all kind of great content created by Canadian scientists and post-secondary volunteers.  The audience is generally students in grades 7-12.  There are also videos, student projects, research and career profiles on the site.  If you are a teacher, definitely take a look at this excellent and FREE classroom resource!

If you would like to contribute content to the site, you can volunteer to write an article, a research profile, or a career profile!  Visit their volunteer page here!
