Friends Clayton Brown and Monica Ross, directors of 137 Film’s documentary about Fermilab, The Atom Smashers, were interviewed on Eight Forty-Eight.

This is in anticipation of the PBS broadcast premiere of our movie (Andy’s on the board). It’s very exciting, and you should check your local PBS listings to find out when you can watch it from the comfort of your own home.

We invite you to learn more about the film or participate in the post-show Talkback forum.

Shameless plug: You can also pick up a DVD online.

On Friday, September 19th, The Atom Smashers will premiere as a keystone event of Science Chicago, a yearlong citywide effort to promote science!
During this Science Chicago opening week:

• - Mayor Daley will kick off Science Chicago at a press conference powered by bicycles

• - Dr. Neil deGrasse Tyson, host of public television’s Nova ScienceNow and frequent guest on The Colbert Report, will present Adventures in Science Literacy: How Societies that Embrace the Discoveries of Nature Have Transformed the World.

• - Science Chicago will take over the Museum of Science and Industry’s front lawn with interactive exhibits, experiments, games and shows, including Tom Skilling, Northwestern University’s Solar Car Team, Mike Davis’s chemistry stunts, and ice cores many thousands of years old.


For the film, a panel discussion with us and physicists will follow Friday’s screening, as will a reception. If you’ve ever wanted to chat with scientists over cocktails, now is your chance.
