Will mention that, like our example.
So people who don't meet up well, just a little bit about how I talk to Socrc with astrophysics.
Constituted at the University of Manchester, about to go back and do my 4th and final year. And I'm here on the industrial team.
but when I applied to university I knew I wanted to do something in the communications and media, so I always tried to fit that in alongside my degree. So.
I was psychological student paper in the UK. And that's a lovely creator of some of the editorial team on the side, and I was just a really great way to both develop my writing skills.
And learn how to work in a big.
And alongside that I will say a little bit of work to freelance research. If you want to know anything about history, of beauty boxing items. You might remember some of it, and I also did. I worked as a little bit of voice over artist for a towel app.
And because I run the group and I also with the social media box in society.
So some assaulted experience that I tried to use this yet. I was originally looking for some work experience and my friend.
Thoughts that this was a summit sent to me, and I decided it looked way more interesting than any of the summer work experience. I found a year out.
So one of the main areas of my work was on our social media accounts. This is probably the area I was least confident in when I arrived.
But it's a really important role within.
I think our job is really.
Increase awareness of the work of the department.
Extremely audiences, so general, public.
The international passport community and within Scc. Itself so telling them why it's in it. So.
And social media is a really accident way to help us do that.
So when I arrive sole social media platform we've launched our account in 2018. I say, we
And we're about 2,046 now. So let's increase slowly over the year.
But after Elon Musk took over in 2022.
There was an overall drop in across.
Pretty much all the accounts, but including accounts.
So that was kind of the Environment Associated. I came to.
Analytics have actually been removed from the platform and actually paid the premium account, which we don't do. CFC, so I'm unable to kind of provide more detail. But that basically paints a picture of a world where we might need to start thinking about.
Alternatives, or at least additions to acts moving forward.
But this year it still remains a value to communicate with the general public, and we have had some boosts relatively well.
So.
What do we post on X or whole variety of stuff? We do updates on the department.
And we also tried to provide content in other ways. So one of the things that my predecessor.
How fun to me with being part of the visits into this birthplace. So yeah, on the birthday of.
About them, their work.
Complicated to our work today.
And it gives us an excuse to talk about their science, and also a great way to remind people that scientists are people. They have lives outside of their science. And we can talk a little bit about that as well. So this was our most successful ones with Raymond Beach.
In 2 years we worked on, closed.
So this is just some of the tweets from the bread. But we talked.
A little bit about nutrients and be able to reuse that graphic. And this was the post that did really well. So I actually.
Scientists with a lot of posters, because he really liked the fact that we talked about how a common, striking fluid really useful in science. And this is the kind of stuff that tends to be about social media, as the kind of.
The feel of Gio science, even when it's in a very normal completely under giants.
So that was about 41,000 views.
One x.
We also do some things that are more fun, and something that I call new education.
So when the Barbie film came out last year, we used that as an opportunity to talk about the old bar experiment.
Mo, nobody.
And we talked about that.
This was our most successful meme of the year. So it's to do with gene experiment. I could no longer find any pictures of the June particle physicists in its environment.
It's it's filled with them.
This weirdly worked very well on fracks. They went mad for it. I don't quite know what happened.
It is education. You do learn some facts about this. You might hear a rather doom experiment when you've never had it before, and because June hashtag was trending a lot of people who saw it. You never see particle physics.
And this is probably my favorite product of the earth. So classical physics. Valentine's.
They did. They would then take you by scram where they did better, and I, when I found myself the week before Valentine's being paid to write poem roses beautiful, too. But Nhv. Should be suddenly new. I really began to question my life.
A game.
Some education. People now learn about me.
I also allowed us to link to our websites. So
I hope from our website.
One of the things I use it most for is, including further information that can't get into posts on apps like this.
But as I mentioned X. Was looking a little bit uncertain.
So when I arrived I was just alternative platforms. That we could.
Just really kind of shore up the future.
So we chose Nathan so that would stitch to the Central Communications team who approved it.
I know we launched it in August 2023. So we've now reached
More than that now. But 30,000 followers.
Despite the restrictions induced by the election. So we weren't able to board the election, which really has a negative impact on how much visible.
Also, that's as well, because the way the link works prioritizing people mixing regularly. So you can see a little bit of a drop there.
But you can see that our levels remain relatively when we launch.
But yeah, I think hopefully, we can reach over 2,000 people by the end of the year.
And so just a little bit more analytics. What another part of the role of the student is to try and get trying to set how we're doing. So one metric is impressions, which is the number of times the processes will, or at least 300 ms with at least 50% of the posts in view. So it's very specific and doesn't necessarily mean that everyone read the post.
But you can see that we have reached 72,000 people, which I think is a fun metric, because it just really goes to show why social media is so important. We are never going to run outreach event. 72,000 people attend, and obviously those have a.
Deeper impact on people that attend them in terms of just people we can talk to social media is so important, the more meaningful.
Statistics is probably the engagement rate.
And.
The kind of averaging page rate it depends who you talk to, but it's ranging between 3 to 4%. And so, as you can see we're pretty consistently above that.
Which is also something that I've noticed virtually is just really valuable about Linkedin is that people do seem to be really engaged in a way that perhaps they're not.
On X or another place, and talk to people.
So one of the things and focus on Linkedin is careers and people.
So I always try to answer the 3 key questions. What's it like to work in particle physics? How can I work in particle physics, and related to that. What are some jobs in particle physics? I might not.
So some example projects.
One that I did to find my own list, and some of the other students in this room. That well, Job, we hear a bit more about that later.
I also work for meeting projects so Emily, who some people might know.
No of the project on this part, rather not. Everyone knew who they were and what they did. So we did a feature on Linkedin.
Where on Monday we talked about what the project does. On the Wednesday we focus on David and.
So.
What they do, they? They like to do outside work, and how they came to work with them on Friday and seeing okay, and sent me.
I watched a video about Gdn about what it's like to work in.
And also interviewed. Half some students give people a general impression of what it feels like to work at Sc. In the summer, because I find that when you read a job you might get a pretty good idea.
What you'll be doing, who you'll be doing it with, and where you'll be going.
Not necessarily, whether.
Really able to do the job where there'll be people like you there. And yeah, and how we find it. So that's why, I think videos can be really useful to show.
So, as I mentioned, I made a video with the other communication students what it's like to be a con student. And so I thought I'd spend a little bit of time talking about some of the internal collaborations I did with communications. People.
Across see.
So one of the 1st things I did was contribute to media. So medium is a book site.
And it's known for being bred deeply. So it focuses on the amount of time as the key metric.
Rather than review it, and we began publishing on there.
And that we published feature articles aimed at making our science successful.
So my 1st article
To mark that today, discuss the history of dark matter, and how that relates.
But the main people I worked with people I work for. Ccfc. Were the other Con students.
So this is actually our video on the side student.
Without the audio, but
Because I know some people don't know how the general concept of.
And they
There are also.
Distributed small smaller confines in other departments.
And they work with central communications. Such communications work for them.
To.
To share our work. So in general, departmental social media and websites talk more in depth about day-to-day work of the department's central comp focus more on the big projects.
And so there were 2 students in Central Homes.
That was a student and a college student in Isis, an outreach and college student, Bobby, and then one student and all the other departments, but I know that makeup looks slightly different now. But we were really able to work well together. On.
Various projects, but also.
That's a great source of sharing knowledge and sharing resources and learning from each other are really useful.
So after the day in the life of the student, the 1st project we worked on was for ours. This was coordinated and appreciate by the potential communication student. So for people who haven't met Pat.
We think.
So this is pathological, as you would see from a dark hat to represent dark matter on the top.
Freaking rep, says the collision. Events.
And the really useful thing that makes that difference to the other mascots is these interchange box. So I have more in here.
And you can use it.
Make various headrooms and show.
I'd say children. Adults also find it useful.
Different ways that particles can be made up.
So.
There were. There was a mascot for each department or most departments across the laboratory.
And the idea was is that we hide stocks throughout the month for people to find, and it's then posted on social media to engage that way. So on Monday we post the zoom in picture like this, where.
And then Wednesday, a picture will drown in context, and Friday a review.
And so, and then.
But.
We brought them all together.
From upfrag.
As we decided to.
Just very open.
And the great thing about mascots, I think, was that they could be used for other outreach activities and leaves in feature to teach children about schools, and also the digital pat, as it were, can be reused in different formats.
So the main one was this.
But I do, and it discusses what possible, what the Nhc is and what past physicists do, so I don't know if I can skip through here.
Eventually you get.
Lovely Judy who agrees. Teacher.
We have.
Talk a little bit about what she does for her job.
And we were also able. I was able to make some marketers for our local hit. But people can show just how much they really don't have.
So, yeah.
So we worked with a couple of other projects. A lot of them really focus on. What people know that stem is for them and highlighting underrepresented groups within, Sam. So for women's history day
It was a project coordinated by Elizabeth's outreach student.
Where we all wrote articles about women from history.
That's impacted the work of our department in some way. So I wrote about Lisa.
Who was probably best known for not winning the Nobel Prize vision, and the Octo. Had one despite the fact, she was actually nominated 49 times for the Nobel Prize Nobel prizes in Physics and Chemistry and that several was report she had even
So yeah, in this, in the article which you can read, and the sites afterwards.
A page theory kind of happens to
She was a Jewish heritage and so forth.
And yeah, so there was just it was great to be able to read about.
Whole variety of different women effort showing that we do recognize the work these scientists that bet into the research we do today.
And the second projects that I worked on is was to do with steam. You haven't heard of it is to do with integrating the arts more into set.
And the basic idea, and Peebles, who was marketing student in bid.
With that she would interview scientists from across Scud, including me, to talk about how our creative backgrounds.
Improves the work of scx.
And really promote the idea that it's important for everyone to have a variety of education and access to the arts.
It doesn't mean you have to go on to be a musician. It has an impact on all industries, a little bit about my background in.
So writing, music, and other forms of writing.
Seated.
So one of the things I was really fortunate to be able to do was visit so.
This video does not seem to be
But I travel to November.
I also brought Pat with me Pat's main scientists. It was the highlights for all of their careers, and through that I produced.
A meeting article about.
My experience toying around with our touch.
So the one other Carpenter project I want to talk about is, I run so when I was a student journalist, I was always really jealous, because my friends in the food and theatre and music section were all these cool invitations.
Against any so I decided I would invite some local student editors to come to tour around and hear more about our research. I worked with the other college students and some other prom's.
People to make that possible. So they received a tour of the art. But Isis and of Thailand.
And they also attended some talks from our graduate team as much as possible about the careers opportunities we have here at sea. So they can go back and tell their entire student audience.
So.
We have 10 entities in total from the scientists from New box of Ucl. The spark reading from Cambridge, Thunderball, from Warwick.
And so we it did actually in the end produce articles. But that's still widely of our audience. So the reading a more traditional piece, where they went through.
Tool that they received from a bit more about us.
And
And this article she wanted to incorporate. The things that she seemed into an article she was already writing about cosmic.
To be able to see what's on the.
But I the thing. Sorry if I can. Just.
So one thing extra that I thought was really bad about this is not just the articles that were produced, but but most of these people want to go on to be science, and it's at the very beginning of their career. The 1st science or invite they received was to us.
Hopefully, be more willing to come back and see it in the future, and more willing to create the science to do in the future. So it's really starting at grassroots level.
I'm trying to. Yeah.
Emergency software.
So I'm not going to kind of move on from slightly to talk about the outreach that we do in Pcds.
So the main
What is ordinary. The main event within events.
Can possibly experiment is our master.
And I made a video so I wouldn't have to talk about master classes earlier this year. And so I quickly.
Because.
Is it just audio.
It's it's all free video kind of like.
Didn't pay what you lost.
We love, that.
I will tell you some stuff. The original castle with his mobstars in 98.
It's for students.
It brings them to sight. It brings into that classroom via zoom and talk to them about particle physics, and particularly the work that we do with sun.
So this year it was slightly reduced. Numbers of parlour and the prep. We had to do for that.
But we had 3 in person days, a 1 online day, and about 600 students attend online, 400 in person.
That's.
And.
I spoke to so many students that day to the video that basically it either confirms their intestines, or for some even persuaded them from going into banking, and I think just getting to see things in person, and also a lot of them will never.
It's really useful, as well as the knowledge that they gain from the lectures, and how that a level exams.
Sorry.
There are no more videos for me. So I'm gonna talk about
So.
Pablo from week. The last one was in 2015. There was a bit of a gap and plans over these because of Covid.
Every 10,000 people attended.
Over one day for members of yeah.
Smoother day.
2 days for schools.
I bumped into my old biology teacher site. I have not known something, but that was great.
One day it starts to have a little look around the main public.
So we were based, in the visitors center. And so we had a lot of space to fill with all kinds of excitement.
I could have included so many shows, but I did slightly.
Limit myself.
So I thought I'd talk a little bit more about the exhibits, but I particularly worked on, and how they worked.
So as promised. I am now going to talk about the Logos. I think.
Almost everyone in this room helped in some way to build the Lego particle detectors.
So I.
1st up to this project, Wenda, interim dep director, walked into my office and I just said, Lego.
That are available on your own that were designed by apps in the past.
And that was as a form of team building and team building, but also to then be used up our local teacher, because the great thing about Lego is it's just not really deteriorate all that quickly. I used to pay Lego at my gran's house that had been around.
Since.
My my mom was like that fool. So the Lego factors were roughly 20,000 pieces each, as if a Lego.
Was a real person. So I ordered all of the pieces of Lego bid, and some second hand sites.
What is the advice from it? But you'll run it amazing. But.
And then an app was away, following that a huge team brought together to build the Lego particle detectors. So I have included the photos at the bottom of some of my friends and my boyfriend building the Lego protectors as proof that you should just never know. It's a terrible idea. You will be drawn into all kinds of crazy projects.
But there was a really fantastic work of collaboration.
And at the end we've got these 2 lovely
Let go of possible protectors. So I think the highlight for me is really when I was actually just looking around the possible visits exhibits with my family.
And when I was in the control centre room there was this 3 year old who was asking questions.
And after speaking to him with his mum, I realized that he was absolutely certain that we built rockets and nothing that his mom said, Oh, I certainly know.
You. You make my choice where you wouldn't know what's a particle detector once he doesn't know what particles. Why don't we go back to basics?
Do you have a picture?
So well does he like lecture, he absolutely so. 1st of all, we took him to see this.
Small modernity which I did not make before I arrived, and then.
He wants to look at more detail.
Not only did we persuade them the idea that we made buckets.
So one of the other exhibits that I worked on was Cassi, which is the conceptual accelerator supporting scientific education.
It's now been mostly Highland.
Aims to remove barriers that can prevent blind and partially sizes from engaging with science.
So this is something.
Is something, but I'm really passionate about. I have a family friend who's blind.
I need to come to a level, I think. 2 years ago he was the only final impaired student in the whole of the UK that year to take chemistry a level because there was this misconception. That is ongoing, that it's just too hard to teach blind people science, which is not true.
And so Cassie.
Was created by.
Raw copy. Some of you might know some of you, Manchester and Chris Edmonds from Liverpool.
As well as a teacher for the visually impaired and other organisations.
To create a resource that could be brought into events like I would open.
To make that accessible.
What it has is a kind of somewhat unintended consequence. It's just also made particle physics easier to learn for all people, particularly children, introducing another sense into learning makes them far more likely to record the information.
And so.
What it is, Cassie. Well, it's
Hey? You!
Symbolic model for a particle accelerator. But it's a little bit.
And so that will kind of be a form of visualization.
And so these metaphors around the outside people allow people to vision to move around the outside by themselves from station to station, and then they created a whole variety of resources primarily to do with.
What is a.
How do we use magnets in the A/C.
Helps you use the submarines again.
And so they produce. They produce 3D tatile models and audio resources to help communicate that.
And so.
One of the things that they also do this year is introduce a form of.
Active learning. Where our lovely guests from Phd. From Liverpool.
With, make children pick a card with a classical visits on it.
And then act it out in a competition.
Competition and.
They were then able, at the end of that activity, and go around the tapt mind, to really, quite effectively communicate to me.
Exactly the concepts that they've learned. So it actually was a really great way. I was probably one of the more in depth activities that we did for giving children an overview of the entire team.
Of the HD.
And other accelerations around the world.
So
One of the other exhibits I worked on was to do with bubble chambers. So talk a little bit about what bubble chambers are, and how I learned about them.
So that an early form of particle.
Which allow you to view the path of electrically charged particles. In 1952, by a little razor.
And we had multiple chambers around that work with the mineral accelerator.
Real fulfilled this.
All of these pieces.
Curvy pictures of custom.
So how these pictures produced.
Well. A bump chamber is normally filled with hydrogen. An early prototype was filled with beer did work, but they went back to the simplest it themselves. And one electron.
And this liquid is put under intense pressure, which allows it to be heated point without boiling.
And then what happens is it's dropped.
Max be released, reduces the pressure.
I need to really unsatisf.
Really easy to make the point.
And what then happens is that when a child enters the chamber it ionizes the hydrogen atom.
We said, recombines and release. This energy causes the liquids to boil at that point.
And so, as that happens over and over again, forms a visible part which is photographed by this version, there's just one camera.
Actually, the one that 3 cameras so you could get more of a 3D. View of what is going on.
And so.
As I mentioned this produced and reels of film so each experiment captured hundreds of thousands of photos and they all needed to be stand and analyzed. So that, yeah, it's been digitised effectively.
And this was really work. I involved really high levels of concentration, which meant that shifts were limited to just 4 h. And so this made it
It's the ideal to fit around childcare moments, which meant that almost all of the sellers.
Were like the mothers.
And so help with, I was able to find some content from the Raoult.
I've also Travis, who used to.
From the Chamber Group.
But what I couldn't find was the names of almost any status. They were essential to the work, but because they weren't credited on scientific papers. There was no list of the status that worked in any of the many labs around the world.
But using using yamma of our internal network, I was able to find these photos.
Of status and I then posted those on a local group belong to Facebook group and said, Is this you? Is this your mum. Is this your aunt?
Did any of those people work the status at any point.
And 2 standards were in contact with me daily through both night time supervisors.
And they were able to give me a whole bunch more info about scanning work. And.
Bunch of stories, but I gotta be in a medium that will be released soon. But I thought I would just say in the famous story, which is what Janet Smith told me, which is that time they tried to hide someone other than tried to hire a bunch of local male students.
Doing monkey balls from the ceiling.
Let's see Sam love in a humid state.
Required the next day, and they never again tried to fire.
So this is just yeah. Some more moments. So we're not actually sure whether these bubble chambers are still trying to work that out at the moment. But of some more pitch. The work that they used to do.
And so.
All this information about home chambers. I want to take an outreach.
And this is actually how I started finding out about space. We had lots of old reels above and storage.
So we I decided that the general public would build a modern reputation like this.
The photographs of hundreds of thousands of villages. And so.
I knew that all of these sites were easily made by the rules of film, but I needed to find a way to suspend.
Mini rail system.
I love the digging. I found the screen so nobody used to grow headers.
But also accidentally perfect for bubble chamber, so that if they knew that when they were inventing them so
I ran reels of film.
And then I needed a frame to spend it from. So, after looking at lots of different types on a geodesic dome frame.
And young children because it's designed to be built by parents. So even me with my terrible skills to put that together, students.
So.
This was the frame that we built.
It took quite a long time, which is why people might found. The day before. Harvard openly sat in White's article, my cage doing nothing but reading them up. But what we did was suspended this from the middle fishing wire, and members of the topic unstuck it like that.
Pull it out, suck it to the edge.
And as you can see them doing that.
And that eventually created something that looks a little bit like this. So I strum baby resembled a collision about but what I found most useful about it is.
We were right in the center when we came in.
And it forced people to stop and look. If I had a poster about the work of the status.
Would probably come up straight past it, but because
This did take a little bit of time to do the children to phone in.
Now I'm new to some really great chats with them and their parents about all chambers. And about the work with.
In a way that I've been able to without something.
That looks quite.
So as I've got.
Little bit of comedy I thought I talk about the outreach training I received this year as well, and so I can share some of that.
So I went to before I went on open week.
We did holiday for me. So I went to the European Association Conference, Vc. Which aims to bring together public events all over Europe, and it was really amazing to work to keep people working in so many different contacts. So this year's conference was hosted by State University, Georgia. In May. People could keep an eye on geocities, might have known.
It was not a tremendously peaceful time to be in to peace, but it was really useful, which is amazing.
It's not the main thing I learned, but it was good.
So I thought I would share kind of my 2 favorite sessions and takeaways from that.
So one of my favorite sessions was the style workshop which.
Do this, but it's Nelson who's a member of Irish woman.
So it's Parliamentary Union.
I'm rixiya bona, my favorite son.
I think my top 3 takeaways from that. It was really 2 h long conversation.
It was an agency. Such experts in science and diplomacy discussed what they learned throughout their careers.
Yeah, I would say, the top 3, with science can bridge gaps between nations.
It's a universal language.
Which can be used to tackle global challenges.
Through evidence, base and collaboration, and again through information, otherwise talk. I also learned a little bit about the Union science and peace, and so you can find more about that online. But just that work.
But yeah, basically just bringing people together.
I'm gonna bump around together to just try and solve problems.
And the second favorite talk was a completely different one. So it was by David Price, Michael Gregory, who both had experience in science, busking and workers in that way.
And is we did. We've made lots of craft types. It was really interactive. It was really fun. And I think we talked from that was that effective outreach does not need to be expensive. It both specialised in making resources that can be made from the buying house.
I know policy even less than that. If you have the things in your house already.
The second thing was to narrow the focus of your average activity to one key concept. You want people to learn.
And that is something that I really did try to bring open when I was just talking to Morgan. It's like a bombardment of information more, I could tell the one thing I realized I'm breaking my own drawer in the top 3 takeaways. But that's so great. And also but yeah, the most important thing is that people leave you around with positive science.
Even if they learn nothing.
Because if they leave with a negative impression, I'll never want to learn about any more science again.
So that's really their whole interest that people have fun. Want to learn more.
So alongside.
Mediations out. I was until before I talk a little bit more about some of the other sciences to research, I did specifically research into the history of the wildlife.
So.
Just a quick catch up because you might not know one of my workspace to try and make it easier for the collaboration to.
Share later.
And it was opened up to the public 91. But really that was primarily, since we were the early adopters, they really passed the business globally, were the only doctors, the 1st users of the one, and I think that this is a fact that the general public seems to have forgotten. I think.
I I would say the last generation to be taught.
It, white people. We still found the way usual new.
Even I remember well before the web.
And
I think that for that reason people forgot in the history, and I think that it's a really important part of community funding is important that it can have these unintended consequences from technological developments. But basically, my.
Research into our history was that Stuart had a rumour that we had made the 1st ever website in the UK. Named by Milton. So I wasn't able to firmly confirm or deny this. I think it may have been history.
The top. The 1st 3 websites, as far as I can tell for us, leads and university.
Previously. I think that needs probably beat us. I think that we're probably second, but I think that that is my understanding.
But there's a major coming out soon. Where I talk to very few.
I don't have to talk to me.
And really think about how the development we can learn from that when we think about new technologies today. So things like AI. How can we encourage development of new technologies?
And how can we avoid becoming like my mom, to use the web for the 1st time? And she says the whole office will never take notes.
I think that that's pretty much everything. I'm very willing to take.
Other questions.
Pretty high presentation. Thank you very much.
My question is about 300 ms.
But it comes from.
Oh, for the impressions!
As in what they choose it. Or where did I get this? How? This is important. 300 of 600. I honestly don't have to do the time that it takes us to the register of some screen updates. Yeah, I mean, basically, the thing with social media analytics is they want.
To give you the impression that you're both doing well.
So it's difficult to really trust the numbers, because they want to.
Hosting a website by saying, you're doing really well. It's like yours.
I was. Gonna say, I think I agree with you a month.
Did early websites. We all thought.
Any other questions.
Really like being interested where you invited lots of magazines and such.
What? Why do you think there was just like a couple of articles.
Yeah, I think,
My friends that you want. You are very busy.
We have a lot of different commitments in order to edit the matching room.
One of them came out. 100 people, published in June.
But I think that the lesson.
I kind of learned Matt, is potentially my expectation slightly clearer.
On the day I should have really given something up. But please.
And maybe give them some kind of timeframe. But that isn't too difficult when dealing with other kinds of retreat.
Like journalists rather than student journalists, but we we should give them a little bit of extra push, but I also think I should send out at least one more email down the line.
So.
We're still welcome to ask any questions.
So 50 it's not too late. It should be, might be another helpful email. It's 3 months out that I may be saying you don't mind if it's late, but we really would love to see it.
Thank you.
I'm sure it's hugely valuable, anyway. But just no, yeah, that was definitely something that.
I.
Yeah, I I found it to kind of figure out what
Yeah, this will need to say, I'm very, very impressed. I think it's really an excellent set of stuff that you've been doing. So. 1st of all want to thank you, because I think it's such a great profile that you've done digging into the history and also getting the balance of.
The kind of serious and educational with the fun side of it. It seems to be learning very well. I made a couple of specific questions. One was about the student media day, and when you thought about that as a national event, so making it a blanket invitation across the board, if that might need some funding to support it. But is that something that you think would work would be.
I think possibly the thing with that. So we.
Have basically no funding for this event. People.
Any form of it's to be rather.
That you've supporting them. Many can't conference.
Load additional trips.
So I think that.
It definitely has potential to do national, particularly because.
We have sites across Uk but that would take.
Something, I think, basically to enable people to come.
Because even with this event I've got to do a lot of journalists travel.
Yeah, I have one further question for me. A lot of what we do is is on quite a variety of times.
So some things, you know, we get results quickly or.
And other things are very long. Term.
What's been the philosophy behind? How you communicated those different aspects! Do you have any.
Best practice advice on that for your successor in terms of engaging people in.
What can be very long term projects with long term, substantial gains, but not necessarily.
Yeah. So I think there are 2 parts that I think the 1st is encouraging.
When the department to.
Talk to us when they have made what they might do as a small game.
People only come to here, where they discovered the landscape.
And so that that's the person with everything we've decided. I think the other thing is to look back. One of the reasons, I think circles is that you do work on the influencers. And looking at the history of things that have been produced.
And also.
Think sometimes we're just scared to tell the general public should be prepared to talk about timescales, even when they might change. We need to communicate to them why things take so long and.
Cool. Yeah. But what we're doing along the way.
So.
Questions.
It's quite generic questions. I apologize. And it's sort of along those lines of in your year.
What sort of way.
It says what you've learned, what sort of things as physicists can we do to help someone.
In this role.
Other things that we can do to help make your life easier, responding to calls for highlights. That's really important.
So responding to things like that again. If you think it's too small, send it to us, anyway.
We can help you decide if it's too small, or if it needs.
United, so at least taking perception. But often it isn't often. It is really interesting to people. I think.
One thing that scientists.
Yeah.
In fact.
Just because you are surrounded by other scientists, you know.
Basics of what you're doing in a main shop. What you're doing doesn't mean that the rest of the world does. They know so little about particle physics, that very little.
And so I think that would be. The main thing is never be.
Yeah, no, that's anything specific.
Comes sort of.
Great.
Any other questions.
So interest. How much time did you spend writing your articles.
Really dependent. My name is kind of making sure.
I often wrote an article alongside doing something which makes it longer.
I would say.
Articles that are not practical. The week of zoom.
Chamber. Likely.
Reading various books.
Thanks for jets. We are ongoing for months, really in the background. Work? But.
No taking up most that makes sense. That was.
Is, that is, that like a common.
Thing, that.
Students have to do like normally, like produce article output as well? Or is that something that just because of your skills previously been working.
I think it depends. I think I wrote less articles than I expected to, because I wanted to kind of improve on the skills.
I think.
The thing that makes PPI different and viral different students is that because serious primary physicists and much full time concert.
We have slightly more limited resources.
So I got to a bit of everything a bit.
Of everything. I think I know that Kylie mentioned
They are, I think.
One of the least important elements that we have.
Because the students are based within departments.
We know we often know the most about.
The articles.
Most of our topics for us will make sense for the program centralized.
So last question.
It's not such a question. I just say that.
Thank you for such a good talk, and I think you've done very well this year.
