Physicist Elmer Imes’ careful work to capture the spectra of molecules made clear the worth of the theory of quantum mechanics.
Black scientists have played important roles in the history of quantum physics. In this growing area of specialization, there’s an opportunity to continue that legacy.
Sandra Charles, Fermilab’s chief equity, diversity and inclusion officer, explains why Martin Luther King Jr. Day is more than just another holiday — it is a chance to honor his legacy and make Fermilab a better place for all.
The Office of Equity, Diversity and Inclusion has a new SharePoint site located at https://fermipoint.fnal.gov/org/ocedi/. Please update your bookmarks and return often for updates and enhanced resources on Laboratory Resource Groups, internship programs, and EDI committees. The old SharePoint site will be archived.

Inspired by the achievements of Jim Gates, currently Ford Foundation professor and director of the Brown University Theoretical Physics Center, the new Fermilab Sylvester James Gates, Jr. Fellowship prioritizes the inclusion of first-generation college graduates, and the representation of historically and contemporarily minoritized individuals underrepresented in theoretical physics.
Heymans, the first woman to be appointed to the role, hopes to give kids and others the chance to appreciate the stars.
