Meet PENeLOPE aka Precision Experiment on the Neutron Lifetime Operating on Proton Extraction at TRIUMF in The University of British Columbia (my alma mater) 💎

Went behind the scenes with Theoretical Physicist Carlos de Lima who toured me & Tech2Step Canada this week.

More to follow, including the biggest prototype I’ve ever seen at Canada’s most colourful #cyclotron #ParticleAccelerator #ForScience #BTS #WomenInSTEAM
