I'm a particle physicist at the University of Cambridge working on the LHCb experiment, a huge particle detector buried 100 metres underground at CERN near Geneva. I'm a member of an international team of around 1400 physicists, engineers and computer scientists who are using LHCb to study the basic building blocks of our universe, in search of answers to some of the biggest questions in modern physics.

“Ultimately, I think [anomalies]'re great for the community, for both experimentalists and theorists. They motivate excitement and interest.”
Harry Cliff, Space Oddities: The Mysterious Anomalies Challenging Our Understanding of the Universe

“As far as Hoyle was concerned, ‘It’s better to be interesting and wrong than boring and right.’ One subject on which he turned out to be both interesting and right was the origins of the chemical elements.”
Harry Cliff, How to Make an Apple Pie from Scratch: In Search of the Recipe for Our Universe

“Deep down, we are all vibrations in the same invisible oceans.”
Harry Cliff, Space Oddities: The Mysterious Anomalies Challenging Our Understanding of the Universe
