Some have written about it.

Thanks, Google.

Thanks to Google, yes and I see that. My hope was to hear from an actual person in a venue I already participate it. I apologize I didn't make that clear.

OP is asking for someone who works at CERN. I do appreciate the smartass answer.

Sorry I can’t answer your question, but I did enjoy the doco “Particle Fever” about CERN, life at CERN and the Higgs boson. You might enjoy it.

Off topic, sort of. You can get a free 2 hour tour of CERN and the LHC buildings in Geneva. Did it last year and was awesome. Tour guides are working scientists, not PR department employees.

I have been there, for a tour and also participating in a CERN Hackaton, it was amazing and now I know a couple of people working there.

Wow, that sounds pretty great. Thank you for mentioning it.
