A rap on particle physics is a YouTube hit

A rap video of the European Organization for Nuclear Research's (CERN's) Large Hadron Collider is a hit on YouTube, reports USA Today">USA Today.

The unlikely hit on YouTube (over 400,000 views so far) is the brainchild of Kate McAlpine, 23, who used to work in the press office of CERN, where they are about to power up the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) on Sept. 10.

The rap should dispel some misconceptions - "Nobody wears lab coats." - and make LHC's mission and method more accessible to the masses through music."
