News at work

Nearly 700 people turned out for the annual American Physical Society Division of Particles and Fields meeting at Fermilab from July 31-Aug. 4. Attendees got caught up on the latest news from particle physics experiments across the United States, reconnected with colleagues and friends, and forged connections with new ones.
