Just seen at CERN: A door with so many signs that you need a PhD to open it
One can never have enough signs?!? source: @freyablekman on twitter
Today I spent most of the day showing 50 amateur astronomers from the Belgian town of Genk around CERN, you can see them exploring an exhibition copy of the LHC magnets in the photo:

Besides frolicking around magnets, they already had the chance to see some of the CERN site under my guidance, including the LEIR (Low Energy Ion Ring) which is now a pre-accelerator for the Large Hadron Collider but used to be the place where the first antimatter atoms were made at CERN in the 1990s. For historical context, this is an amazing historic machine and has the big advantage that you can see it all at once as it is only 15 by 15 meters or so.
Tomorrow we will visit the CMS detector, although I have seen it regularly I still get excited every time I get to see CMS :) Expect some photos!
A neutron walked into a bar and asked, "How much for a gin and tonic?" The bartender replied, "For you, no charge."
#funny
these remind me of some of the doors in labs scattered around MIT's campus while I was studying and working there. also SO COOL you work at CERN! i work with a bunch of engineers in an organization developing technology for the hyperloop, so i literally fangirl when I meet powerhouse female nerds - especially on steemit! lets be friends? ;p
i have yet to detail out much of my work on the hyperloop here on steemit as ive been mostly using it as an art outlet. but i need to do a post on it - soon.....soon.
anyway welcome and amazing posts - cnat wait to hear more :)
Ha ha ha!
You don't need a Ph.D for that door. I'll translate for you.
"You must be riding a horse to enter. If so, go straight ahead. Have the horse pull the door open."
The other door's signs say, "If you're going around in circles, Stop. Instead, go down the hallway to the left. Security will help you leave as you're possibly unstable."
You get to run the tours? That's cool. You get to go into one of the top scientific facilities every day.
Looking forward to tomorrow's pictures!
Hey Freya, I am looking forward reading about your visit tommorow, please make it like a story, not just photos. I will appreciate it!
How many incidents with unauthorized horseback riders you had before the warning sign? :D
Yes, please answer, the world needs to know (or at least me)!
How do you know that the driver driving toward you is a physicist?
He has a red sticker on his bumper, saying: "If this sticker is blue, you are driving too fast."
Does your obligatorily assigned horse need a PhD as well then?
You can't walk through it with a horse ? Damn
