Yesterday, I presented my design of a logo for the recently founded “Young High Energy Physicists Association” in it’s first general assembly at the DPG Spring Meeting in Münster.
Looks like people seem to be happy with it and it only awaits formal approval in an e-vote and to be used ;)
Today it’s exactly twelve years that I have my CERN account :)
I first got it on 8 March 2005 when starting my internship in the high-energy-physics group at the Niels Bohr Institute in Copenhagen, thereby laying the foundation of all that came afterwards … great people, great physics, great places … looking forward to more of all :)
… we failed in getting a LEGO model of LHC experiments through the LEGO Ideas review.
After failing with my mini ATLAS model in 2014, yesterday LEGO finally rejected Nathan Readioff’s LHC micro models as well. Looks like we have to come up with yet another idea/design to finally reach our goal ;)
Based on the submission date of the Letter of Intend, 1 October 1992, the ATLAS Experiment will turn 25 years this autumn and I will have the pleasure to organise a live event on the actual birthday as well as an internal celebration during the Bratislava ATLAS Week in October … while getting caught in this, I noticed that, based on this calculation, I have been with ATLAS for half of its life (and a third of mine) by then.
We had Christmas dinner at work yesterday … more than two kilograms of cheese (Appenzeller, Gruyère, Emmental and an old Tyrol cheese) in seven different kinds of cheese fondue (Appenzeller, Gruyère, Tyrol, tomato mixed, spring onion mixed, bacon mixed, chives mixed; and yes, I know it’s eight caquelons) for about 40 group members. Certainly an experience … from shopping, over preparation, to the dinner itself :)
