Ximena Cid found her place in STEM by embracing her identity. Now she helps others do the same.

From URA.org (University Research Association), June 30, 2022: Matthew Portman’s research on the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument was accepted by the URA’s Visiting Scholars Program Review Panel and was awarded funding to work at Fermilab where he worked with Dr. Antonella Palmese, a former Visiting Scholar herself. Portman’s curiosity for gravitational waves and coding knowledge allowed him to merge both physics and computer science while at Fermilab.

Successful assembly was the result of a collaboration among three institutions in three countries.

From Medium.com, July 21, 2022: An interview with Fermilab’s artist-in-residence, Mare Hirsch on her creative journey studying music and work in computational fabrication while collaborating with scientists to create data-driven art. Hirsch is now working with Muon g-2 scientists to visually represent aspects of particle physics such as muon precessions and virtual particles.

From Radiology Business, July 21, 2022: Read more about the research collaboration between NYU Langone and SQMS in a pilot program which will pair two young researchers from each institution. The aim of the program is for researchers to develop algorithms used by future SQMS quantum computers to make accurate and rapid estimations of multiple tissue properties from MRI scans.

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.
