Helen Edwards

The Quest for Everything

Listen to the podcast story of Dr. Helen Edwards, who was a Fermilab particle physicist who led the design and construction of the Tevatron to probe deeper into the atom than anyone had gone before.

From the Daily Herald, Dec. 5, 2022: Senator Dick Durbin introduced legislation to rename Fermilab’s Integrated Engineering Research Center after the late Helen Edwards, the particle physicist who worked at Fermilab for 40 years. The legislation is supported by U.S. Rep. Bill Foster, who knew Edwards, and by U.S. Rep. Lauren Underwood and U.S. Sen. Tammy Duckworth.
