The most famous image in particle physics is this one of the ATLAS detector at CERN. It shows the huge scale of the machine especially because there’s a person stood there for scale. But my question has always been WHO is this person? On my trip to CERN last month I was on a mission to find him... #spiritofATLAS

To all my willing interviewees - Roger, Max, Claudia, Merin, Tara, Sam, Clara and Aaron - you guys are the best for giving up your time. Also, a giant THANK YOU to Michaela Livingston-Banks (of Nailing Science fame) who took time away from the desk to follow me around with a camera all week. And a HUGE thank you to Stephanie Hills at CERN for scheduling this whole trip and for finding Roger for me
