We recently took the amazing @particleclara underground to see our incredible @lhcbexperiment detector ✨

Sitting 104m underground, it’s the deepest of the four experiments on CERN’s Large Hadron Collider, and it is highly specialised to study a specific type of particle called beauty quarks ⚛️

➡️ Swipe to learn more about all the different parts of our detector.

🔔 And stay tuned to join Clara on her visit, and see LHCb up close!

🔬✨ E se a ciência pudesse começar com uma simples curiosidade? 🔍

Na escola, Clara Nellist nem sabia direito o que era Física. Como sua escola não oferecia a disciplina, e com o incentivo de sua mãe, ela passou a frequentar aulas em outra escola. Assim, essa curiosidade a levou até a Universidade de Manchester, ao Fermilab e, depois, ao CERN.

Mas a história de Clara não termina na pesquisa. Ela atua não só na física de partículas, como também na divulgação científica, usando as suas redes sociais para aproximar as pessoas e mostrar que ninguém precisa ter todas as respostas para começar.

Como ela mesma destacou durante entrevista, sua visibilidade ajuda outras pessoas a perceberem que “pessoas como eu existem.”💜

E você, já pensou em fazer parte da ciência?

👩‍🔬 Por mais mulheres construindo o futuro.

Wow…. For the first time Starship is in orbit around earth - Big Deal. Getting ready to deploy 24 new satellites that join the existing constellation!!!!
Congratulations to the entire, remarkable SpaceX Team!

'20 Years of Scientific Discovery' was our opening night panel at Latitude 2026 and it's out now on The Incomplete Shambles Podcast. Robin Ince, Helen Czerski, Chris Jackson, Clara Nellist and Turi King look back at the last twenty years of science, and into the next twenty.

Listen wherever you get podcasts.

I think I’ve officially lost it… 😂🤷🏻‍♀️ but also PLEASE make your own version and tag me!

A woman and a man are dancing in this reel just fyi (the skull is fake but male - generally it’s very frowned upon to dance with real human remains!)

Give my girls @jessaddwater and @raewynngrant a follow and also @particleclara who I did an interview with on the BBC’s The Conversation - it will be coming out this month. It is also one of our final ever episodes.

PS full disclosure - all I want to do these days is dance
PPS still… stuff happens after you get back from an event at the natural history museum #womeninstem #womensupportwomen #womenscientists #dance

‘System Controls’ August 5, 2026

Simple, basic control panels… be it a Super Collider (…Clara); a modern helicopter (…Katherine); a large world-class Pipe Organ (…Anna); or a simple Apple cell phone 17 (…James…. Hey that’s ME!) Wait, the first three have mastered those devices, and make them look easy, whereas an Apple 17 … is well difficult, no it’s practically impossible! Guess my future is being spent at the local Apple Genius Bar. My struggle is real and intense 😕.

On a very breezy day at the end of the summer term, Year 12 physicists decided to swing buckets of water around their heads. Why? Anastasia explains...

Here's a little highlight reel of our Latitude 2026!

Full panels and podcasts and more to come in the proceeding months! From killer crabs to astronauts and puppet cows to battery tech, there really was something for every type of curious mind in the Cosmic Shambles Forest this year.

See you in 2027!
