Pakistan does not have a long history of domestic particle physics experiments, but the country is nevertheless finding ways to contribute to international efforts.
You can't start a high-energy physics program in a remote third-world country overnight. But you might be able to do it in fifteen years. That is what Vietnamese and American physicists hope to do by helping Vietnamese students to become part of the worldwide particle physics community.
The Australian Synchrotron fits into the larger Australian and international research programs. Newly established e-Research Centres will link to the AS as part of the national data grid, allowing for remote collaboration and operation of the facility.
U-Ser Jeng begins almost every morning with a refreshing 40-minute bike ride, meandering through a mountain road surrounded by the sound of birds singing.
