<p>In the UF president's resignation letter (quote from letter found posted on CC), the above scientific collaborations are mentioned. I'd love to learn more about these. Can anyone shed any light on the details?</p>
<p>UF is at the forefront of searching for the Higgs at the LHC and has had one of the largest academic teams at Fermi.</p>
