Abstract

Since 1962, Daresbury Laboratory has pushed the boundaries of modern science. It remains internationally recognised for world leading scientific excellence in a diverse variety of fields, from nuclear physics to supercomputing, and its achievements, which consistently deliver impact on a human scale, have inspired scientists worldwide.  Daresbury employs around 300 staff from both the university research community and industrial research base.  In this video, we speak to several employees about their work and hear what it's like to work at an accelerator laboratory.
