Research: Copper-Free Click Chemistry Applied to Living Organism Carolyn Bertozzi, director of the Molecular Foundry, led a research effort that the first time safely applied the widely used molecular synthesis technique known as click chemistry to a living organism. Bertozzi and her colleagues crafted a unique copper-free version of click chemistry to create biomolecular probes for in vivo studies of live mice. Conventional click chemistry reactions require a copper catalyst that is toxic to cells and organisms. More>
EH&S: Two More H1N1 Flu Clinics ScheduledThe Lab has received more H1N1 flu vaccine, so the Health Services group will host free shot clinics on Wednesday, Jan. 27, in Building 26 from 8 to 11:45 a.m., and on Thursday, Jan. 28, at the Joint Genome Institute (Walnut Creek) from 1 to 2:30 p.m. Appointments are required (x6266).
"In Conversation With…" is the next-generation science seminar series, during which host Alice Egan interviews scientists about their lives and work in language everyone can understand. Her next guest is Jeff Neaton, who will discuss the theory and simulation of nanostructured materials Friday at 1:30 p.m. in the Building 66 Auditorium.
To assist supervisors in responding to HR issues, Berkeley Lab Learning Institute will offer the Supervisor Scenario Workshop (BLI0122) on Thursday, Jan. 28, at 12:30 p.m. This three-hour course is required for all new scientist and operations supervisors and is a helpful refresher for those with more experience. Using a problem-solving model, participants will work in small groups to discuss scenarios and explore options, then review solutions from Lab subject matter experts. Registration required.
The Lab’s International Researchers and Scholars Office is hosting a noontime Q&A session for employees, supervisors and others to learn more about visas, green card applications, work permits and other documents. The event will take place Monday, Jan. 25 in Perseverance Hall (Building 54-130). Contact Ben Ortega for more information.
