Humans of physics
Enormous scientific collaborations are made up of hundreds upon thousands of individuals, each with their own story. Online collections of profiles, such as Faces of DUNE, the Dark Energy Survey’s Scientist of the Week blog and Humans of LIGO, reveal the sometimes-ignored human sides of scientists.
Fermilab is America’s particle physics and accelerator laboratory. Our vision is to solve the mysteries of matter, energy, space and time for the benefit of all.
Fermilab scientist Emanuela Barzi elected to APS Council committees
Currently a councilor of the American Physical Society Forum on International Physics, Barzi is adding to her contributions to APS. Her memberships in the APS Council committees reflect her commitment to promote knowledge of physics throughout the U.S. and the world.
Fermilab scientist Anna Grassellino is new deputy chief technology officer
Grassellino will help lead the lab’s exciting portfolio for advancing the key technologies in high-energy physics and help oversee the realization of important accelerator projects.
