When we close the LHC after access, the access console beeps. What does it sound like when you turn on? There was also advice for aspiring physicists and computer scientists, references to Japanese anime and the ever-present Comic Sans question. Questions from the public ranged from how much political interference there is in the work of a CERN physicist ( none) to how satisfied is the whole CERN team about the discovery of the Higgs boson? ( very). Joining them were CMS physicist Seth Zenz, ATLAS physicist Steve Goldfarb and science communicators Kate Kahle and Achintya Rao. CMS spokesperson Tiziano Camporesi, theorist Nazila Mahmoudi, accelerator engineer Giulia Papotti and head of computer security Stefan Lüders were online for 90 minutes to answer queries about (almost) anything. Yesterday people working at CERN took to the social media site Reddit to answer questions about life and work at CERN.
