On 19 October 2021, the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) test launch with pilot proton beams was performed after the almost three-year upgrade. Two-week tests are scheduled, as well as the first low-energy collisions. Afterwards, the facility will be shut down again for maintenance from 1 November till 21 February. The first stable beams of Run 3 are expected at the very beginning of next May.

Twenty years ago, the building of Dubna’s legendary café “Neutrino” near the railway station “Dubna” was demolished. The cafe experienced its greatest days in the far-away 1970s, but its fame was so great that it is still echoing. Even local youth and tourists can still ask, “What about that thing, the “Neutrino” café?“ Not to mention the old-timers’ nostalgia for it...

The interview with Dmitry Naumov (DLNP Deputy Director) and Elena Dubovik (DLNP SciCom Group) about the DLNP Group of Scientific Communication and science communication in general was published in the weekly newspaper “Dubna: Science, Community, Progress”.
On 8 September, the seminar “Group of Scientific Communication: Share Knowledge, Explain What is Going On, Keep the History” was held at the Dzhelepov Laboratory of Nuclear Problems. The DLNP Deputy Director of Science Dmitry Naumov led the seminar. The head of the Group Elena Dubovik talked about the results gained after one and a half years of work, about ongoing and upcoming projects. Later, Igor Ivanov, a noted science educator, theoretical physicist, DLNP researcher, joined the discussion. Since the questions were asked mostly by DLNP staff members, the weekly decided to ask the Group to tell us in more detail about their activities. We hope that this experience will be helpful to other JINR subdivisions.
