Writing
for the public because
we want to inspire interest in fundamental researchencourage sustained support for ATLAS, LHC and particle
physics share the importance of intellectual curiosity & its benefitsspread our enthusiasm for scientific endeavours, even
when we are not making ground-breaking discoveries
by establishing new, continuous website content
but mostly because“The whole point of doing that kind of science is to learn cool new things about the world, which is pointless if we then don’t tell anybody what we’ve learned.” – Sean Carroll, Wired
really because
we like writing about all this
what we write about when we write about physics

How ATLAS deals with the huge amount of data
in shortinterviews, overviews, updates, upgrades, awards, reports, conferences, curtain-raisers, physics results, physics events, results of physics events, detector work, software, hardware, soft and hard probes, searches, human interest visits, matter, antimatter, or any kind of matter makes learning about ATLAS and physics more interesting than learning about Tom Cruise
