Princethorpe Physics

Just leaving Luton Airport. ETA at Princethorpe 11pm

We’ve had a lovely time. Flight appears to be on time. We will update our ETA when we leave Luton.

Stone skimming on Lake Geneva. Simple pleasures.

Seeing the sites!

All CERN trip pupils are safely on board the plane at Luton. Waiting to depart.

Today’s change to #SI units marks the end of a long journey from defining quantities in terms of objects to using precise, unchanging and universal constants of nature. @PhysicsWorld explains the change #WorldMetrologyDay physicsworld.com/a/si-gets-a-ma…

Just spotted this Yr13 Physicists! Very funny! Thankyou for my pressie and card and your brilliant company at CERN. Work hard and you will ace these exams. Mrs Rose.

Vector addition in action.

Katie Bouman produced the algorithms that pieced together the data from the network of telescopes taking a picture of a black hole. Without her work the image would not have been possible. bbc.com/news/science-e…

3 years ago MIT grad student Katie Bouman led the creation of a new algorithm to produce the first-ever image of a black hole. Today, that image was released. More info: bit.ly/BHoleGuardian 2016 story: bit.ly/BlackHoleCSAIL #EHTblackhole #EventHorizonTelescope

really good days are when an astronomical discovery is made. the BEST days are when a woman is behind that discovery—and getting her due credit. this is Katie Bouman, and she created the algorithm that produced the first ever image of a black hole. #EHTBlackHole

Look who we found at #BigBangFair NEC. So great to see Old Princethorpian Rory doing his bit to promote STEM for @AstonUniversity where he is currently studying. #princethorpeandproud

@Erni_physicist Thanks for the inspiring talk @CERN yesterday. Our pupils learnt so much. #warwickuniversity #particlephysics @warwickuni

We are just boarding the plane in Geneva, delayed by about an hour. We will update when we arrive in Luton.
