« Friday program »

These National Labs are two of
the world's premier scientific institutions. One of our guides at Fermilab
will be Bill Higgins, who is a radiation physicist there and also well
known in the science fiction community. A bus will be provided. The cost
of the tour will be $24. (If we get enough signups, we will rebate part
of that fee.)
