<p>A few weeks ago, <a href="http://vickysteeves.com/blog/solong-farewell/">my NDSR cohort</a> & I had the great opportunity to present <a href="https://github.com/VickySteeves/2016-NDSR-CompetencyProfile-Paper/blob/master/2016-10-03_iPRES_NDSRLongPaper.pdf">our paper</a> at <a href="http://www.ipres2016.ch/">iPres 2016</a> in Bern, Switzerland! XYZ.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>The last day I was in Switzerland, I took a 2 hour train ride down to Geneva where <a href="http://jbbeacham.com/">James Beacham</a>, a former phD student at NYU and now postdoc at CERN, gave me an insanely awesome, half-official, half-unofficial tour of <a href="https://home.cern/">The European Organization for Nuclear Research</a>, A.K.A. CERN.</p>

|
|
<p>James had gotten me on a waitlist for an <p><a href="https://visits.web.cern.ch/tours/guided-tours-individuals">official guided tour</a> at 13h. Since they had some cancellations, I was lucky enough to join!</p>
