MRI On the Cheap
And On the Go

When we hear the term “MRI,” most of us probably think of a special treatment room in a hospital with a huge doughnut- shaped machine that costs a lot of money and makes a lot of noise. Berkeley Lab researchers are looking to change that perception with the successful testing of a laser-based MRI technique that would make the technology compact and portable, relatively cheap, and quiet. “We have developed a novel approach for the detection of MRI based on optical atomic magnetometry,” said chemist Alexander Pines, one of the world’s leading authorities on MRI technology. Full story.

Vehicle Inspection
Ensures Safer Driving
One of the most important safety investments people can make is to routinely inspect their vehicle and ensure all equipment and safety features are in sound operating condition. This is as important as defensive and safe driving practices. The condition of brakes, tires, steering, suspension, engine, lights, windows and mirrors impact a driver’s safety and the safety of fellow commuters. Go here for tips on inspecting vehicles. Personal inspection of vehicle safety features is not a substitute for periodic professional automotive inspection.

Ex-Lawrence Aide, Dies
Helen L. Seaborg, wife of the late Nobel Laureate Glenn Seaborg for 56 years and former secretary to Berkeley Lab founder Ernest O. Lawrence, died on Aug. 29 of pneumonia. She was 89. In addition to her significant administrative contributions to the Manhattan Project, she will be remembered for her support during her husband’s renowned career and her generosity in volunteer work. No services are planned, but donations can be made in her name to the YWCA at UC Berkeley. Read her family’s memory of Helen Seaborg here.

The ISSM Office will matrix the security functions of the IT and EH&S Divisions, including cyber security, site access, foreign visitors, alarms and controls, the badge office and business continuity planning. Reporting to Deputy Chief Operations Officer Sandy Merola, the new office will support an open science environment by protecting lab assets and integrating the policies and best practices of cyber and physical security into all levels of the Lab.

Blackberry Gate
Project on Schedule
The Blackberry Gate construction project is currently on schedule, with an anticipated completion date of within four weeks. So far, workers have completed the underground utility trenching excavation and installed kiosk 1 on its concrete pad. Over the next week, the transfer of security equipment from the existing kiosk to kiosk 1 will occur, which will enable the removal of the existing kiosk and concrete pad. Following this, traffic will be re-routed to the east side of kiosk 1 to permit the demolition of pavement in the location of kiosk 2, the extension of the storm drain to the west, and the installation of the kiosk 2 concrete pad. Contact the project manager, Jack Heffernan, at [email protected] or x5993, with any questions.
