Particle accelerator beams can help us delve into some of the biggest questions in physics. Find out from Eric Stern @Fermilab why he's excited to use exascale computers to improve the lab's beams. #ExascaleDay
We are saddened by the loss of Eugene Parker, for whom our #ParkerSolarProbe is named. His work deepened our understanding of the universe, inspires and enables new missions. We stand on the shoulders of giants. Dr. Parker helped us touch the Sun. go.nasa.gov/3KRo174
Congratulations to g-2 for making top ten science breakthroughs of 2021 from Physics World physicsworld.com/a/physics-worl…
Congratulations to Nahn Tran and his colleagues for winning a DOE award for research using real time artificial intelligence and machine learning for nuclear physics detectors.
Congratulations to both Sam Zeller and Chris Polly for becoming APS Fellows! @gzeller918
A huge congratulations to the Fermilab scientists selected as 2021 APS Fellows! Sam Zeller is recognized for her outstanding contributions to understanding neutrino interactions and Chris Polly for his leadership of the Muon g-2 experiment. aps.org/programs/honor…
Phenomenal! Congrats to Fermilab's Gina Rameika and Byron Lundberg, recipients of the 2022 Panofsky Prize along with Kimio Niwa and Vittorio Paolone. The award recognizes the first direct observation of the tau neutrino in 2000. aps.org/publications/a…
A simple, *hypothetical* example of the Base Rate Fallacy: Suppose w/o a vaccine, 9/10 get hospitalized Suppose w/ a vaccine 1/10 get hospitalized (Note: a very good vaccine!) Suppose 90/100 get the vaccine What share of the hospitalized are vaccinated?

Congratulations Anna!

Chicago is increasingly seen as a world-leading hub for quantum engineering. It is home to the Chicago Quantum Exchange (anchored by Fermilab, Argonne, and UChicago), which will host the Chicago Quantum Summit on Nov. 8 and 9: news.uchicago.edu/story/chicago-…
Quantum computers will be capable of solving extremely complex problems that lie beyond the capacity of today’s most powerful supercomputers. Read the announcement from @ENERGY here: go.usa.gov/xPjbn #WHQISSummit
This week we're hosting a hands-on workshop on quantum information science — and for the first time in a public setting, @Google is conducting a hands-on tutorial on their quantum computing software: news.fnal.gov/2018/09/fermil…
Change is coming to computing for high energy physics. My talk from the 50th Annual Users Meeting: <lnkd.in/d5YTBJ2>. I explain ho…
“Change is coming,” says Jim Amundson, kicking off his talk on computing. #Fermilabs50th
Lower Wacker Drive is evil. Until flying cars become an option, street maps should remain two dimensional. #chitown
