“To me, a scientist is bald with hair on the sides of his head. . . .
Scientists live in their own world and the rest of society puts them there.”
- Ashley (before visiting Fermilab, a protein-antiproton collider in Illinois)
“A scientist is a normal person. They have a life.
Scientists are just like you.
A scientist's job looks like a lot of fun.”
- James (after visiting Fermilab)
