Mmmm.....radiation

Hey ya'll, back when everyone was talking about CERN destroying the earth someone posted a video from a game about a particle accelerator and it starts with someone going into the lab. Well, that's...not quite how it works. So I decided I'd take a little video walk-through of what it's actually like to go into a particle accelerator.

Looks a lot like the game video to me... Where'd you leave your Ferrari?

So I have no clue what this post is about, but my students and I were discussing zombies today, and why they were called undead.. and would Jesus and Lazurus be undead and therefore zombies, and anyhow (that's a huge run on sentence)... someone pointed out it was a moot point since zombies dont exist and so I mentioned how I knew people who had seen zombies. And they asked where, and I said, California. They laughed and said, no, that doesn't count. Of course people in California see zombies.

Just had to share.

That video went around JLab awhile ago in an e-mail with the topic "This is why CERN gets funding and we don't"

Although at some point in the near future there is going to be a JLab video that was made all kinds of professionally that I'm going to be in. I'll be talking about neutron detectors with the high school intern who was working with me this past summer. I'll be sure to share a link when it comes on-line.
