Page 2 of 2 To watch and listen to the music video of science’s new rap star Kate McAlpine, also a science news journalist for CERN, go to the YouTube website of “The Large Hadron Rap.” Some comments about McAlpine’s particle-rap classic are: “McAlpine raps that when the collider goes into operation on Sept. 10, "the things that it discovers will rock you in the head." [Chicago Tribune “Kate McAlpine, YouTube"] "Rap and physics are culturally miles apart," said McAlpine, a 23-year-old Michigan State University graduate and a science writer at CERN, in an e-mail last week, "and I find it amusing to try and throw them together." and "We love the rap, and the science is spot on," said CERN spokesman James Gillies." [LansingStateJournal.com: “MSU grad's particle physics rap is YouTube hit”] You can find more information about Katherine "Kate" McAlpine at her website “Kate McAlpine: Science Communicator.” Also, read some of "Katie's" CERN articles at The Geneva Gazette ("A glimpse inside CERN, the world's largest particle physics laboratory"), a part of the Society of Physics Students, at the American Institute of Physics.
