Last year, CERN celebrated 70 years of groundbreaking scientific collaboration and innovation, with science communication playing a pivotal role in highlighting these achievements. Join us for an exciting series of events "The Voice of Science" centered on science communication, featuring renowned speakers who will share their expertise and insights into making complex scientific ideas accessible and engaging for all. The events will take place at the CERN Library located in Blg. 52/1-052.

The fourth talk will be by Professor Carsten Welsch, who will take a look at a few of cinema's most mind-boggling moments of scientific inaccuracy. He will talk about where Hollywood gets the physics wrong and how the correct science would impact on the films, as well as about how current accelerator research goes beyond even the most exciting movie plots.
