Cern Physicist Bob Stanek invited iO's Charna Halpern to Switzerland to help the scientists get loose and fire up before they fire up the large Hadron Collider. He thought the workshops would help them be less serious and work more as a team in the face of theoretical extinction due to the creation of a black hole maybe. Hilarious.
