We are concentrating on the younger
physicists as we are trying to reach as wide an audience as possible, engaging those who may
not normally be aware of the goings on at CERN. Our goal is to get a
conversation going between expert physicists and interested members of the
public on the Google+ page whilst we track the exciting developments in physics
and hear from those at the cutting edge of particle physics at CERN.
CERN People had our official press launch at 8:30am today and both sites went live at 5pm yesterday afternoon. If you follow the links (see below) you can have a look at the first posts and videos from CERN People. As we get started we would love to have some feedback – in the form of comments, for better or worse - on the short films and posts from well informed and interested people.Your science communication expertese are extremely valuable to us and so If anyone has the time, we were wondering if you might consider taking a look at the first films and posts and perhaps sharing some of your thoughts. Feel free to forward this to anyone who you think might be interested and tweet/blog/post to your hearts content.
