The Education Office of the Department of Energy’s Fermilab greets the new school year with another complete program of classroom presentations to celebrate the World Year of Physics, marking the 100th anniversary of Albert Einstein’s “Miraculous Year.”
Fermilab Director Pier Oddone, who took office on July 1, will be the guest speaker at the lab’s Ask-a-Scientist program on Sunday, August 7, at 1 p.m.
Dr. John A. Turner, a principal scientist at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory, will explore issues involved in “The Sustainable Hydrogen Economy” on Wednesday, July 6 at 4 p.m. at the Department of Energy’s Fermilab.
– Scientists of the Pierre Auger Observatory, a project to study the highest-energy cosmic rays, will hold a celebration to mark the presentation of the first physics results from the nearly-completed detector array in Malargüe, Argentina, from November 9 to November 11, 2005.
At a Washington, DC ceremony today (Monday, June 13), scientist William Ashmanskas of the Department of Energy’s Fermilab will receive the prestigious Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers, the highest honor bestowed by the U.S. government on outstanding scientists and engineers who are in the early stages of establishing their independent research careers.
Summertime is a bright season of adventure and discovery for children, and now is the perfect time to add Science Adventures to your children’s schedule of discoveries for June, July and August at the Leon Lederman Science Education Center, at the Department of Energy’s Fermilab.
Dr. Kaufmann will present “Oil and the American Way of Life: Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell,” on Wednesday, June 1 at 4:00 p.m. in Wilson Hall’s One West conference room at the Department of Energy’s Fermilab.
In 1979, then-Director Leon Lederman of the Department of Energy’s Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory decided he wanted to do some teaching again, to regain the contact with young minds he had enjoyed as a professor at Columbia University. The resulting Saturday Morning Physics program at Fermilab has spread immeasurable benefits among some 6,000 high school-aged students over the past 25 years.
Hundreds of scientists from the DZero collaboration at the Department of Energy’s Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory are using the technology of the future to process particle physics data today.
