In April, the Italian National Institute of Nuclear Physics announced that Fermilab postdoctoral neutrino physicist Simone Marcocci had won the Bruno Rossi Prize for his Ph.D. thesis work.

Lab professionals discussed their work, shared their experiences in different career areas and encouraged the girls to study STEM careers themselves.

Approximately 1,100 Chicago-area high school students, parents and educators attended the event, where they had the opportunity to meet more than 160 STEM professionals from nearly 50 companies, organizations, agencies and professional associations.

The program provides supplemental awards to outstanding U.S. graduate students to pursue part of their graduate thesis research at a DOE laboratory or facility.

Binkley discussed our neutrino, muon and collider physics programs with Fermilab experts, as well as our accelerator science and technology efforts.

Menezes is DOE’s principal advisor on energy policy and emerging energy technologies. He is also responsible for the coordinated management of DOE energy programs.

He receives the honor for fundamental contributions to the development of new techniques for the direct detection of dark matter.

Dabbar spent the day touring the lab and meeting with Fermilab employees.

Twenty-five years ago this month, Fermilab stood up its first website — one of the earliest websites in the United States.

In recognition of International Women’s Day, March 8, we present a photo gallery of Fermilab women.
