Fermilab Users' Outreach Workshop
June 4 & 5, 2009
The Fermilab Users’ Organization will host an Outreach Workshop on
June 4th and 5th, 2009, in association with the annual Users Meeting. The workshop will be
an opportunity to exchange ideas on effective and practical ways to
communicate the excitement of physics and what we do as scientists to
students, the general public and government officials. We hope the sessions will encourage members of the Users' community to become engaged in outreach activities.
