The Atom Smashers
Somebody has recently made a documentary about Fermilab's desperate race to gather all the data we can before CERN's Large Hadron Collider supersedes the doomed Tevatron. And it has a great, old-fashioned title: The Atom Smashers.
The trailer shows lots of people and machines I work with. You can glimpse Todd Johnson at a console. I've never been in a documentary about Fermilab, though I have received good notices for my performance in the Controlled Access safety-training video, if I do say so myself.
The Atom Smashers will premiere at the Museum of Science and Industry on 19 September, and be broadcast on PBS's Independent Lens the week of 25 November.

(Beyond the metal ceiling of the Cockcroft-Walton accelerator in that picture are the offices of my department.)
