Museums, universities and laboratories throughout Europe opened their doors on Friday night (September 28) and invited the public to the third European Researchers Night.  And from across the ocean, Fermilab joined in — virtually.  Organized by Matthias Neubert, a physicist who is visiting Fermilab for a few months, a group of scientists here at the laboratory participated in the European event by video conference.  Fermilab scientists answered questions posed by a group of participants who had gathered at Neubert's home institution, the University of Mainz in Germany.  More than 150 cities in 29 European countries offered a broad range of events connected to the researchers night.
