Reminder
About
Anniversary Events
Today,
employees can attend talks and tours that commemorate
the founding of both the National Center for Electron
Microscopy (1983) and the Advanced Light Source
(1993). The lectures start at noon in the Building
50 Auditorium. Tours of the facilities will run
between 1:30 and 3:30 p.m., during which shuttles
will depart from the cafeteria to both sites every
10 minutes.

Chakraborty
Named Head For Biology Computation
Physical
Biosciences Division Director Graham Fleming
has appointed Arup Chakraborty
as the new department head of Theoretical and Computational
Biology. "Today’s extraordinary challenges
in the life sciences will not be met without new
strategies to analyze and predict solutions to biological
problems," Fleming said in citing Chakraborty’s
distinguished record in the field. Chakraborty serves
as the Warren and Katherine Schlinger Distinguished
Professor of Chemical Engineering and Professor
of Chemistry, and is the Chair of Chemical Engineering
at UC Berkeley. He is also on the Materials Sciences
staff at Berkeley Lab.

In
a recent letter to Nature, Berkeley Lab
earth scientist Robert Nadeau,
along with other researchers, describes why “the
time-varying deformation field within a fault
zone, particularly at depths where earthquakes
occur, is important for understanding fault behavior
and its relation to earthquake occurrence. But
detection of this temporal variation has been
extremely difficult.” Go here
to read the full letter.

Science
and Engineering
Doctoral Degrees Decline
Same
story, different year, some might say of new data
from the National Science Foundation (NSF) that
shows almost across-the-board reductions in the
numbers of doctoral science and engineering (S&E)
degrees earned in 2002. The 24,500 degrees nationwide
represent the lowest number since 1993. A nationwide
survey reports the number of research doctoral
degrees in all fields earned by students attending
U.S. universities declined by 2 percent last year,
dipping under 40,000, which marks the first time
in nine years doctorates fell below that threshold.
Full
story.
Bush Signs Nano
Technology Law
President
Bush has signed into law the 21st Century Nanotechnology
Research and Development Act. The measure provides
$3.7 billion for nanotech R&D, including programs
at DOE’s national laboratories. It also
establishes programs to ensure technology transfer
and research on the societal and ethical implications
of nanotech development. Go here
for more details.

Are
You Slipping
on Pine Needles?
The
H&S Division is looking into the number of
slips, trips and falls caused by pine needles
and other tree debris on Lab walkways. If the
problems are found to be frequent, those walkways
will be cleaned more often to reduce the hazard.
Employees who have problems on wet walkways should
contact their division safety coordinator describing
when and where incidents have occurred. For information,
contact John Chernowski at x 7458 or [email protected].
Location
Change for
Computer Classes
As
of yesterday, all classes scheduled to take place
in the Building 51L computer training facility
have moved to Building 90-0026 (in the basement).
