Restarting of the LHC & Emmy Noether Biography from Vox

The explanatory journalism website Vox has a pair of physics-related articles today:

One previews the restarting of the Large Hadron Collider after a two-year hiatus for upgrades. The article also refreshes our memory on what was previously discovered at the LHC.

The other reviews the life of mathematician/physicist Emmy Noether, including her discoveries on symmetries and conservation, and the gender-discrimination she faced, on the 133rd anniversary of her birth. I wrote about Noether and symmetry back in this 2009 entry.
