Every day, these scientists seek answers to some big questions, like:
- How do tiny nuclei drive the life cycle of massive stars?
- Where do the elements that make up our world come from?
- How many isotopes are yet to be discovered?
Picking up where James Webb Space Telescope images leave off, FRIB scientists discuss how astrophysics seeks to explain the creation of elements, and how basic research is essential to drive new scientific discoveries and technological developments.
FRIB representatives have traveled to speak about science at a wide variety of venues and events, including the Michigan Science Teachers' Association, Longway Planetarium, Osher Lifelong Learning Institute, Calhoun County Spartans Alumni club, the Rotary Club of Lansing, Latin Americans United for Progress (LAUP), and high schools in several Michigan counties.
FRIB staff can offer a tutorial on future FRIB research or an exploration of the careers available in laboratory science.
Request an FRIB staff or faculty member to speak to your classroom or at your event by filling out FRIB's request form. Spanish speakers can also be requested.
