A sneak peek into CERN Science Gateway CERN is preparing to open its new science and outreach centre, CERN Science Gateway. Our photos of the week show Fabiola Gianotti, CERN’s Director-General, taking architect Renzo Piano on a tour of the new exhibition spaces. Six years ago, CERN’s DG had the vision of a one-of-a-kind outreach centre that would put visitors in direct contact with the CERN community, featuring real CERN technologies and pieces of equipment. “I’m personally very excited by the prospect of having a venue where our scientific activities take place alongside public events, and where CERN personnel will rub shoulders with visiting members of the public,” says Dr. Fabiola Gianotti. #CERNScienceGateway #PhotoOfTheWeek

major scientific facilities should be treated like cultural sites. They should have extensive public access, and opportunities for meaningful and fun experiences!

Recently @Fermilab has increased access restrictions for employees, visiting scientists, and the public. A new petition with ~2500 signatures says the policies "are dismantling the very features that have defined Fermilab to the public for decades." pubs.aip.org/physicstoday/on…

Scientists and the public petition to roll back Fermilab access restrictions

Safety and security must be balanced with science and culture, says management.

We will begin installing flex posts on Hampshire Street on Thursday, Sept 14 & Friday, Sept 15. These posts will separate bike lanes from general traffic lanes and parking. Crews will work in the street & bike lane between 7am and 3pm. Learn more: cambridgema.gov/Departments/…
Mock up of what the Hampshire Street separated bike lane will look like when installation is complete.

⁉️ We stumbled upon the #WHOI “Ask an Ocean Expert” table and asked @coastalkelper all kinds of questions about her favorite seaweed, kelp! What have you always wanted to know about marine science– but were afraid to ask?
