… and for those of you who want to get a small taste of what it was like on that first #Higgsdependence day, please check out this episode of my old short-lived podcast, “Going Up Alleys”, entitled “Diary of a Discovery”. I was very fortunate to “be in the (literal) room” the day the Higgs was announced.

… here is a group of us, probably marking the 10th - 25th people in line, in the morning just before the #Higgs discovery seminar was ready to allow people in for seats. I met some people that night I’d never met before, but whose paths I then crossed for many years after. I also reconnected with some old colleagues in line that night and morning. It was an electric experience.
