Fun new paper led by @ScooperF1 @annacgreen & @hannahmidd8 on our mini-Michelson interferometer, currently living in @thinktankmuseum

How did we build a gravitational-wave exhibit for the @thinktankmuseum? @annacgreen explained in this @LIGO Magazine article https://www.ligo.org/magazine/LIGO-magazine-issue-9.pdf#page=20 #scicomm
Our mini-Michelson was designed so it could be part of a stand-alone museum exhibit, as well as part of a science fair exhibit. We used it as part of the @royalsociety summer exhibition @Listen2Universe
If you would like to play with lasers and build your own mini- @LIGO demonstrator, we have a parts list online http://www.sr.bham.ac.uk/exhibit/ and building instructions will be coming soon!
