ÂÜÀòÉç

This month, June 2025, ÂÜÀòÉç celebrates Despina Hatzifotiadou as our Outreacher of the Month. A long-standing member of the ÂÜÀòÉç community and the ALICE experiment's representative, Despina has dedicated years to combining frontier research with meaningful public engagement.

May is another month to celebrate the incredible people driving science outreach around the world. This month, we are proud to feature Kenneth Cecire, co-coordinator of the International Masterclasses Program and a dedicated outreach educator with QuarkNet at the University of Notre Dame.

Last week, the International Particle Physics Outreach Group (ÂÜÀòÉç) held its 29th Collaboration Meeting at Fermilab, the renowned U.S. national laboratory for particle physics.

At ÂÜÀòÉç, we believe scientific curiosity should be nurtured, not gatekept. That’s why we’re proud to spotlight individuals who are actively breaking barriers in science communication. This month, we shine the light on Kazuo Tanaka, a particle physicist, educator, and outreach pioneer whose work is reshaping how young people interact with science.
