I’m a Scientist, Get me out of here! is back this June. Between the 10th and the 21st, students at 8 schools will be putting their questions to scientists in the Particles Zone.

For the latest news and announcements about the event, find us on Twitter @imascientist, and follow the hashtag, #IASUK.

The Particles Zone is a themed zone supported by the Science & Technology Facilities Council.

Savannah Clawson | PhD student, University of Manchester

Savannah studies what happens when we smash particles of light together, using the ATLAS detector and LHC at CERN.

Philippe Gambron | Research Scientist, STFC – Rutherford Appleton Laboratory

Philippe uses very large computers to work out what happened during the first moments of the Universe.

Lucy Budge | PhD Student, Institute of Particle Physics Phenomenology, Durham University

Lucy is trying to understand what happens when particles are smashed into each other at very high speeds.

Joanna Huang | PhD Student, University College London and CERN

Joanna is a PhD student learning about particles and the fundamental laws of the universe.

Harrison Prosper | Professor of Physics, Florida State University

Harrison tries to make sense of nature by colliding protons at the Large Hadron Collider.

Edoardo Vescovi | Research Associate, Imperial College London

Edoardo is developing precise methods to measure things when the forces between particles are either weak, medium or strong.
