The astrophysicist won the 2022 Early Career Award from the Universities Research Association for her work on multi-probe data analysis for the Dark Energy Survey.

From URA.org (University Research Association), July 19, 2022: Ohana Benevides Rodrigues, a physics doctoral student at Syracuse University participated in the URA Visiting Scholars Program, helping her to develop a strong affinity for physics and establish a home at Fermilab. Her experiences at the lab enabled her to work on MicroBooNE and take part in the hardware assembly of the Short-Baseline Near Detector.

From Science, April 28, 2022: Fermilab’s Aaron Chou describes how his work on the ADMX keeping quantum sensors isolated from the environment in studying rare events that could be dark matter.

Researchers look toward quantum computing to help medical-imaging scientists achieve the goal of accurately measuring tissue properties with MRI scans.

A handful of physicists have prepared the detector for a more sophisticated dark matter search.

From Physics World, July 19, 2022: Fermilab’s new director, Lia Merminga is interviewed in the July issue of Physics World. Read more on what inspired her and the journey of her science career that led to her becoming the first female lab director at Fermilab.

From The Big Think, July 16, 2022: Fermilab’s Don Lincoln writes about the evolution of new exotic forms of matter known as tetraquarks and pentaquarks. By studying these particles, it can help scientists understand the strong nuclear force inside atoms and provide insights into the early Universe.

From The Big Think, July 8, 2022: Science writer and astrophysicist Ethan Siegel explores how the design of Fermilab’s DUNE experiment aims to detect neutrino oscillations from one flavor into another when neutrinos travel 1300 km through the earth.

From the Department of Energy Office of Science, July 13, 2022: DOE announced $78 million in funding for 58 research projects that will spur new discoveries in high energy physics. The announcement covers a wide range of topics at the frontiers of particle physics, including Fermilab’s Muon g-2 and the MicroBooNE experiments.

The workshop is the culmination of a two-year process to provide a scientific vision and detailed proposals to the planning process for the future of US particle physics.
