[] Jennifer Wu: Hi everyone, thanks for listening to The Founder Spirit podcast. I'm your host, Jennifer Wu. In this podcast series, I interview exceptional individuals from all over the world with the founder spirit, ranging from social entrepreneurs, tech founders, to philanthropists, elite athletes, and more. Together, we'll uncover not only how they manage to succeed in face of multiple challenges, but also who they are as people and their human story.
“The main thing that attracted me to physics was the fact that I was a very curious child. inom asked myself and others many questions, and I wanted to understand how things work at the most fundamental level. It has to do with what we are, where do we come from and where do we go.”
“It was a fantastic time, perhaps the most wonderful and exciting time in my professional life. The Higgs boson is a very special particle, the Higgs field permeated the universe a millionth of a millionth of a second after the Big Bang • Ten days is an awfully long time to have a toothache — especially with the kind of week Fabiola Gianotti had ahead of her. It was December , and the annual seminar at the European Organization for Nuclear Research — better known as CERN — was imminent. Gianotti, one of CERN’s head scientists, was preparing to present preliminary findings on the hunt for the Higgs boson, the elusive particle that physicists had been seeking for the better part of half a century. Gianotti and the thousands of other scientists who work at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider (LHC) were getting very close to bagging the thing, and she was eager to share what she knew. But there was the matter of that toothache. So she took a drugstore painkiller, then started taking two when one didn’t work, then went to three. Finally she woke up the night before the seminar with a raging fever and chills and had to be rushed to the hospital for emergency dental surgery. When she was done, the doctor told her she had to sta • by TeganGEORGE Italians who have impacted the world bring to mind either Renaissance masters, ancient statesmen or contemporary entertainers and designers, like Roberto Benigni, Sofia Loren, Giorgio Armani, or Guccio Gucci. We don’t, however, often think of physicists. This changed after December 19, , when Milanese physicist Fabiola Gianotti was named runnerup for Time magazine’s Person of the Year. Why is this significant? For starters, Gianotti is a woman in a competitive, male-dominated field. She is not merely involved in modern physics, but instead dominates the field as one of the head scientists at CERN (European Center for Nuclear Research.) She is the spokesperson and coordinator for ATLA S and the Large Hadron Collider, which is the largest particle detector ever built at 27 kilometers in length. She was given this position after being elected by of her peers, hailing from 38 different countries. Gianotti has been instrumental in finding what is b Fabiola Gianotti
