Do You Understand The Higgs Boson?
Fake Science 101, available for pre-order at just $10.39, has a full paragraph about the boson!

Fabiola Gianotti, the Discoverer
Fabiola Gianotti is the spokeperson of the ATLAS collaboration, that announced on July 2012 the discover of a new boson that is like a Higgs boson.

Higgs: beyond “to be or not to be”
Physicists on experiments at the Large Hadron Collider have observed a new particle that may be the Higgs boson. In a commentary published just before CERN’s announcement, Joe Incandela, spokesperson for the CMS experiment and professor at the University of California, Santa Barbara, answers the question: What happens next?

On Ula Ula Man’s Island (tumblr): Signals from H -> tau tau channel from CMS presented at ICHEP2012 in Australia | Is it Higgs? (infographic) | David Barney’s quotation | Higgs candidates (a photoset whit collisions from ATLAS)
Signals of new physics in H -> tau tau channels from CMS?
In the image you can see the Higgs -> tau tau: there’s no excess, and all data could be explained with background.
My mysterious Mr. Higgs, from The God Particle: If the Universe Is the Answer, What is the Question? by Leon Lederman
The world has changed. We know more. Not just about ourselves. Or our immediate surroundings. Not just about our country, our continent or even our planet. Not just about the solar system or the Milky-Way galaxy in which it resides. We know more about the Universe. About what it is and how it came to be. About why it is the way it is. And about how it will evolve.
Go outside, to a busy street full of people. And stop. Look around you. At the people, the buildings, the cars, the trees, the animals. Look up at the sky. At the air itself. At the clouds, the sun. The stars. Everything is the way it is because of physics. Because of the tiniest building-blocks of the Universe and the way they interact with each other. Because of the Higgs “field” giving mass to some of these building-blocks and not to others. Until 4th July 2012 this field was just a theory. Seeing signs of the Higgs boson means this field is real. We know more. You know more.
