Visit Description

<p> </p>
<!-- Replace default by booking form content --><p>When it comes to presenting science to non-scientific audiences, you often expect this to happen in laboratories or in academic institutions, where people can observe how research is being done in real time while experts give them simplified explanations.</p>
<p>This year CERN decided to take a slightly different approach and took science to a place where people would not expect it to be – in a shopping centre. The POPscience project, a part of the European Researchers’ Night 2015 for the Geneva region, took place in Balexert shopping centre on the 25th of September. The programme was a unique blend of science, cinema, comics, poetry, music, games and encounters with artists and scientists.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>In the live connections setup between the cinema and the ATLAS control room, the public was invited to discover differences with the <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cs-YMoVKne0">Hollywood view of ATLAS</a> , and discuss some of the <a href="http://angelsanddemons.web.cern.ch/">science behind the story</a> with physicists.</p>
