MILAGRO News
Hundreds of scientists from many countries are participating in the MILAGRO research campaign during the month
of March 2006 in Mexico. We've been lucky to enlist the help of numerous researchers and teachers participating
in the campaign, who will be sending news about research progress in the form of "Postcards from the Field",
linked below. The five most recent postcards are given first, followed by links to lists of postcards sorted by submitter
name or submission date. To find out more about the person submitting the postcard, click on their name
to reach a brief biography that explains who they are and what they're doing on the campaign.
