Five contestants, 10 minutes each. Tell a general public audience about your research. Better make it interesting because the audience votes on the winner! This year five students from the Illinois Math and Science Academy, coached by five scientists from Fermilab, present their topics of interest.

Ruth Pordes was at Fermilab when computing equipment was first being moved into the laboratory offices. The elevated status of computers at the laboratory was made evident on move-in day.

On Thursday, May 9, 2013, Fermilab invited elected officials and leaders from local communities to hear Director Pier Oddone lay out his vision of the laboratory's future. The presentation was held in Wilson Hall, and included both short-term (NOvA, Muon g-2) and long-term (LBNE, Project X) experiments, as well as an overall look at the direction of the laboratory's impact on Chicagoland.

Why I Love Neutrinos is a series spotlighting those mysterious, abundant, ghostly particles that are all around us. This installment features Angela Fava, Fermilab Wilson Fellow stationed at CERN. For more information on neutrinos, visit the Fermilab website at http://www.fnal.gov.

Fermilab's third annual Physics Slam, held on Nov. 21, 2014, featured five physicists vying to explain their area of study in the most entertaining way possible. Contestants included Micheal Hildreth, Marcelle Soares-Santos, Joseph Zennamo, Wes Ketchum and Vic Gehman, and the event was hosted by Chris Miller of the College of DuPage.

Sharing energy, research, engineering, imagination, and resources, Fermilab people design, build, and operate one of the worlds most intricate and powerful particle accelerators and detectors. Find out more about how people here share a sense of purpose and belonging to a community that is working to make discovery happen. Welcome!

Fermilab hopes to send an intense beam of neutrinos from its site in Illinois to an underground laboratory in Lead, South Dakota. Since they were already called to a different assignment in South Dakota, Reidar Hahn and Jim Shultz of Fermilab's Visual Media Services took the opportunity to drive along the route the neutrinos would take, visiting with some interesting people and sites along the way.

Press Conference with Congressman Bill Foster at Fermilab

Fermilab's first Latin American scientists came to the lab in 1983, when four researchers from Brazil traveled across the equator to work on experiment E691. Carlos Escobar was one of them. It was the beginning of a collaboration spurred by a bold proposition by Director Leon Lederman.

Fermilab is upgrading its accelerator complex under the upcoming Proton Improvement Plan II, or PIP-II. The heart of the project is a superconducting linear accelerator, which will help generate intense proton beams for the lab's experiments. Follow the PIP-II beam as it accelerates to higher energies.

This 3-D display shows particle tracks recorded by ProtoDUNE. The video shows the full size of the single-phase ProtoDUNE detector (white box) and the direction of the particle beam (yellow arrow). Particles from other sources (such as cosmic rays) can be seen throughout the white box, while the red box highlights the region of interest: in this case, an interaction resulting from the particle beam passing through the detector. Event information, such as the momentum of particles in the beam and time of interaction, are located in the lower left corner. A selection of 3-D events from ProtoDUNE-SP are available in an online gallery developed by Chao Zhang of Brookhaven National Laboratory (https://www.phy.bnl.gov/twiste....r/bee/set/protodune/ for curious minds that want to play with the interface.

In the 1970s, Fermilab scientist Herman White presented Director Leon Lederman with an idea for a program for summer students, one that has become a mainstay of Fermilab summers.
