Accelerator operators: pillars of particle physics
Interesting article from Symmetry magazine on the role of a particle accelerator operator. [1] This sounds like an interesting job and as the article says 'non traditional' so you never know where studying physics will lead to.
I have added a link to Science forums [2] if anyone would like to discuss further, however please add a link Directly to the article not this blog. There is no thread on there as yet.
