This week on the Nature Podcast
This week, we get excited about the LHC switch-on, chart Vesuvius' changing chambers, find uses for synthetic trees and solve a puzzle about mathematical skill.
Podcast Extra: The Large Hadron Collider is finally ready to go. Geoff Brumfiel talks to CERN theorist John Ellis about his hopes for the project – and what happens if there are no Higgs bosons. Also this week, the second of our special podcasts on science in the US election looks at what the candidates are saying about biomedicine and health.

Large Hadron Collider Special
Nature presents a special package of news, opinion and podcast extras to mark the first attempt to circulate a beam through the world's most powerful particle accelerator. You can also request a free copy of last year's Nature Insight supplement on the LHC.
Read also the first essay in the meetings that changed the world series which remembers the birth of CERN — the organisation that founded Europe's premier facility for experimental nuclear and particle research.Image: CERN

NatureJobs
Physics frontier: This month, all eyes in the high-energy physics community will be on the long awaited launch of CERN's new particle collider. But US budget cuts and an uncertain job market mean the field has little else to celebrate.
Power Shift: The dawn of the LHC both helps and hurts high energy physics research opportunities in the US.
Difficult atmosphere: New NCAR director faces tough decisions early-on.

Volcanoes: A mobile magma chamber
Vesuvius' magma reservoir, previously thought to be in a relatively fixed position in the upper crust, has actually migrated upwards over the past 20,000 years, suggests a report in Nature this week. The Nature Podcast team also discuss the findings with the author this week.
