This Week in Spring - January 23rd, 2024

Hi, Spring fans, and greetings from CERN, home of the famous Large Hadron Collider, where I’m speaking again at the VOXXED Days CERN 2017 event. It’s been an amazing almost week here in lovely Switzerland, first in Lugano (for VOXXED Days Ticino), and now in Geneva.

I’m super excited to be here, but all this wonderful scenery has only made it more difficult to keep up with what has been a very exciting week indeed in the community. Let’s dive right into it, we have a ridiculous amount of stuff to look into!
