Kids, wise up and follow Katie!

by Miki Saxon

14 years and $8 billion led Wednesday to the activation of the Large Hadron Collider. (I doubt that US short-term thinking and tendency to cut scientific/education funding could have done it.)

The collider has to be some of the coolest science to come down the road in quite a while. But what I really loved was a collateral happening that goes along way to proving that science and the people practicing it are cool, too.

Meet Katie McAlpine, a Millennial whose efforts and interests have led her in a very short time to a fabulous job.

Katie graduated Michigan State University in 2007 with dual BAs in physics (with honors) and professional writing.

She has been the ATLAS E-News Journalist/Webmaster for ATLAS Collaboration, CERN since May.

Katie says, “I am an adventurer in the realm of ideas, and I have pitched my camp at a crossroads:  the intersection of science and writing.” She also thinks that “science itself should be fun.”

More than that, Katie walks her talk as her well received Hadron rap video proves.

See more of Katie’s raps. Better yet, show/send them to all the kids you know.
