High Energy Rap

The Large Hadron Collider is about to get cranked up. It will look at how the universe formed by analyzing particle collisions.

Scientists say the collider is finally ready for an attempt to circulate a beam of protons the whole way around the 17-mile tunnel. The test, which takes place Wednesday, is a major step toward seeing if the the immense experiment will provide new information about the way the universe works.

Scientists are excited about the new research tool, but even more people have gotten excited over a rap video that was created by a woman who worked as a student researcher at the National Superconducting Cyclotron Laboratory at Michigan State University. That is where I earned my Ph.D., but as I recall...I didn't do much rap back then. I don't think I'll be starting now :)
