BATAVIA, Ill. - The Department of Energy's Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory will host the next Virtual Ask-a-Scientist on May 6, 2003 from 7:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. Central Time. Physicists Bruce Baller, of Fermilab's MINOS experiment, and Chris White, also of Fermilab's MINOS experiment, will respond to questions live online. Virtual Ask-a-Scientist is an online chat session with Fermilab scientists that gives participants the opportunity to ask questions about high-energy physics from: "What is a neutrino?" to "Can I build a particle detector at home?" Fermilab invites people of all ages and all science backgrounds to participate. Previous chat sessions have involved participants from as far away as Vietnam. Interested participants may join the Virtual Ask-a-Scientist chatroom on the evening of May 6, 2003 by clicking a link on the Fermilab homepage (http://www.fnal.gov) and following the directions to log in and ask questions.
