Harry’s research is focused on searching for signs of new particles and forces beyond the Standard Model of particle physics by studying the decays of particles known as bottom quarks. For the past seven years he has held a joint fellowship with the Science Museum, where he curated exhibitions on physics and astronomy including a major exhibition about the Large Hadron Collider. Professor John Womersley is one of the world’s foremost particle physicists and has taken leading roles on projects both in Europe and the United States. John worked at Fermilab near Chicago before becoming a scientific advisor to the Department of Energy in the US. He returned to the UK in 2005 to become Director of the Particle Physics Department at the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory at a time when it was building and delivering vital components to CERN's Large Hadron Collider. In time John took on a broader role as Director of the Science Programmes Office and was then appointed Chief Executive of the Science and Technology Facilities Council in 2011. He is now the Direc
