  CERN is an amazing place, but I work in a different bit of physics so it has never been an ambition to work there. There are lots of other physics facilities in the world – I spent a lot of time working in different magnet laboratories in the US and the Netherlands, where they make very large magnetic fields and you can put new materials into them and see how they behave. There’s a lot of cross-over in the technology used with the magnets used in CERN.
