But what do brilliant researchers actually do in their spare time? Or do they have that at all? In very personal diaries, they give an insight into their everyday lives in Collider Diaries and don’t stop at showing what drives them, how they live, and what they do when they’re not working on the world’s largest particle accelerator.
Physicist Dorothea Fonnesu is part of a select group of engineers and researchers with whom CERN is studying the feasibility of the largest scientific experimental laboratory ever. A new particle accelerator, 300 meters underground, 100 kilometers long, even passing under Lake Geneva. Dorothea is the first portrait of a 6 part series called Collider Diaries airing every other Thursday in the summer of 2021.
The short film doesn’t take too much time focusing on the next big particle accelerator, but takes a glimpse into Dorothea’s home-life at her apartment, showcasing her love for plants and her dog. The film avoids discarding uninformed viewers, as scientific lingo is kept at a minimum – providing easy to understand explanations for most ages and learning capabilities.
