Yesterday, students got the opportunity to explore how to make their dreams a reality. During the live Chat, CERN professionals gave their advice on what it takes to get into particle physics, and what kind of jobs there are in the field.
Mei-Li Holmberg took part in the chat yesterday. She is studying for her PhD in particle physics, and gave students advice in getting to where she is today!
