To Get Kids Interested in Science, We Have to Let Them Do Science
Thursday, September 21, 2023
In 10 years the U.S. will turn on a brand-new particle accelerator that stands to unlock new secrets about the fundamental structure of matter. This machine, called the Electron-Ion Collider (EIC), will be built at the Brookhaven National Laboratory facility in Upton, N.Y. To maximize the collider’s discoveries, we must start attracting and training its workforce now.
