[News-releases] New faces for Canadian particle and nuclear physics

[Tim Meyer]

Canadian particle and nuclear physics has just undergone a successful online
face lift: the Institute of Particle Physics and TRIUMF have each launched
new web sites this week. These sites aim to reach a broader audience of
stakeholders, better serve members of the Canadian scientific community, and
inform the general public about ongoing projects and experiments.

The new web sites can be found at:

http://www.triumf.ca    and    http://www.ipp.ca 

The two organizations have a longstanding relationship, ensuring that Canada
resources devoted to particle physics are used optimally and coherently in
addressing the most fundamental questions about our Universe.  TRIUMF is
Canada's national laboratory for particle and nuclear physics and Canada's
steward for the advancement of accelerator science and innovative
technology. IPP promotes particle physics across Canada, employing an
outstanding group of research scientists who play key roles in our highest
priority projects, as well as exposing the next generation of Canadian
scientists to opportunities in particle physics worldwide. The launch of
these new websites will result in a more accessible and engaging source of
information that will align with Canada's need to support industry, improve
health care and ensure our knowledge-based community continues to grow.
