Episode notes
Journey from bicycle brakes and a hot glass mishap to one of the world's largest particle physics experiments. NIU professor Dr. Jahred Adelman joins the STEAM Studio Spotlight to discuss his work on CERN's ATLAS detector, the surprising role of computing and "big data" in smashing protons, and how skills in this field reach far beyond the lab. He also teases an upcoming talk on the hidden physics of the Olympic Games. Discover how a winding path through chemistry and engineering led to a life exploring the universe's smallest building blocks.
