      Arguably my role in [the zombie movie ‘Decay’]
      For some reason Hollywood hasn’t offered me any follow-up parts.

      CERN is a very fun place. You have a lot of people together, all interested in physics, and when I was there I ended up working hard but also having a lot of fun, going out, day trips etc. I spent many nights checking the experiment was working OK – the experiments are running 24 hours a day, in 3 8 hour shifts. It was quite surreal to be checking the experiment at 2am and occasionally getting up to get espresso + KitKats to stay alert.
