I am so awed by what CERN/humanity has done here. All my respect to you and your colleagues. Sometimes when i want to feel amazed or optimistic about humanity I look up CERN.

Now for something completely different: here's an opportunity to rant about being female in science! How is it and why aren't more young women going into either basic science or engineering -- is there still a gender gap in graduate studies? What's that about?

From the US -- I can't express my admiration enough. Just saw video of Tahrir Square being cleared; protesters reoccupying it. The press here is describing the protesters' goals exactly the same way you did.

Holding my breath for your success. Prayers to you and your comrades.
