More details to follow tomorrow! 🤩
As you may know, the CLF headed North this July to help engage more than 5,000 visitors on @DaresburyLab Open Day! 🤩
We are so chuffed that we were able to be a part of this incredible event.

Today as part of our week-long celebration of #LightDay23 we gave Vulcan and EPAC tours, and a talk to kids from several local schools!
The talk was on how to create a supernova using a powerful laser! 💥✨
From urban, Antarctic, and wood burning materials -
CLF Scientists have collaborated in a new approach at @isisneutronmuon for studying the behaviour of surface films covering particles taken directly from the atmosphere.

Happy #LightDay2022! Today is a very special day for us as it's the birthday of the laser!✨
To celebrate lasers all the amazing science we can do with them, CLF staff are going to share some selfies live from their favourite laser labs today 😎
Stay tuned!
EPAC’s experimental area 1. This room is where the laser will come in and hit its target, allowing us to do a huge range of experiments from advanced imaging to particle acceleration.
Helen Towrie is our engagement officer (and doesn't know I'm doing this... sorry boss!). An artist by training, she's responsible for getting the CLF onto Pokemon Go with her stunning illustration...
#IWD2022 (6/13)
While I’m at it, and while it’s #InternationalArtistDay, here’s 15 days of my #inktober2021 🎨
(I started a new piece for the second half)
#Inspo was my wee orange cat 🐈
Gonna be trying something new and live stream me opening a #ChillingReign#BoosterBox over at twitch.tv/norealroots. The Plan is to go live at around 7pm, feel free to stop by and check things out!
Today is #INWED21 – A day to celebrate the women who make up our all-important workforce of engineers and technicians. Without the huge and varied range of professions that is engineering, we would not have been able to run our lasers for the past 44 years.🎆
📣We may or may not be telling you more about this laser at our International Day of Light Event!🤩🥳
