BUT what tends to happen is that the National Geographic, being an American magazine, will focus on the American scientists there. A French magazine would focus on the French etc. So though there is, apparently, far more press in the UK about CERN and the LHC than anywhere else, and consequently far more of Brian, there are thousands of other scientists from 85 countries working there in many different capacities. Brian's just the coolest. :) He doesn’t run the LHC – he runs one of the international upgrade projects.

I thought he was supposed to be running the place. I'm utterly appalled.
