BATAVIA, Ill. – The Department of Energy’s Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory will host the next Virtual Ask-a-Scientist on-line chat session on October 9, 2002 from 7:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. Central Time. Physicists Don Lincoln, an Associate Scientist for Fermilab’s DZero experiment, and Jocelyn Monroe, a researcher for Fermilab’s MiniBooNE experiment, will respond to questions live on-line.
Virtual Ask-a-Scientist is an on-line chat session with Fermilab scientists that gives participants the opportunity to ask questions about high-energy physics from: “What is a neutrino?” to “Can I build a particle detector at home?” Fermilab invites people of all ages and all science backgrounds to participate.
Interested participants may join the Virtual Ask-a-Scientist chatroom on the evening of October 9, 2002 by clicking a link on the Fermilab homepage (http://www.fnal.gov) and following the directions to log in and ask questions.
