Please submit nominations for the 2019-2021 Scientific Advisory Council members. The Scientific Advisory Council has 15 members who serve a 2 year term, with half the group rotating out each year. The SAC needs diverse representation, incorporating scientists from all scientific areas and from people at all stages of their careers, so please keep this in mind when making your nominations. The charge of the SAC is to engage in open discussion on topics of interest for the laboratory’s research program, and on…
On Wednesday, April 18, from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m., Fermilab’s annual STEM Career Expo will put high school students face-to-face with people actually doing the jobs they will be applying for in the coming years.
At SiDet, parts for the first thermal and mechanical CMS high-granularity calorimeter cassette are laid out on the table.

Fermilab’s annual Wonders of Science show is scheduled for Sunday, April 17. This year’s theme is astronomy, and the show will feature Weird Science, a group of current and retired high school teachers who have been recognized locally and nationally for their ability to engage young minds.
Fermilab’s Family Open House is more than just an annual tradition. It’s a chance for the whole family to spend an afternoon learning about science in a hands-on way and have fun doing it. The Open House is earlier than usual this year – on Sunday, Jan. 31 from 1-5 p.m. – but it promises the same sense of wonder you’ve come to expect.
