Read below what the students said about this CMS Virtual Visit
“I loved learning about dark matter from Dr. Subodh Patil. Specifically, how it could potentially be detected by unexplained mass-energy losses.” – Abbie McMillan
“I really enjoyed Prof. John Ellis’ anecdote about how it didn’t matter whether or not the LHC was contributing relevant spin-off technologies today, because history has shown that some of the most important revelations in science were thought irrelevant in their own time.” – Maxwell Johnson
"I thoroughly enjoyed hearing Dr. Subodh Patil's and Prof. John Ellis' explanation of dark matter, and the projects taking place at the LHC. Despite having only just met and talked with them in the summer, discussion covered a host of interesting new topics.” – Ethan Whittaker
“The opportunity to talk to theoretical physicists was amazing. It was fantastic to get answers straight from people how are at the forefront of this field. I really enjoyed the discussions about dark matter and how the LHC could potentially detect its presence, as well as the interesting anecdotes about life as a theoretical physicist. The information I gained about how the LHC accelerates particles through radio ‘boosts’ was also extremely interesting and has furthered my desire to potentially pursue a career in this field." – Rachel Boyd-Moss
