Tomorrow's
Summer Lecture will feature radiation biologist Eleanor
Blakely of Life Sciences, who will give a talk on
"Space Radiation and Cataracts." Blakely and
her group developed a culture model of differentiating
human lens cells that has been used to study the molecular
biology underlying radiation cataractogenesis as a consequence
of radiotherapy. The model has also been used to evaluate
radiation safety for astronauts during space missions.
As astronauts spend longer times in space, the effects
of cosmic radiation exposure will become an increasingly
important health issue. Blakely will review this emerging
field and the contributions made at Berkeley Lab. |

| Committee
Seeks Balance On Competing Lab Contracts Micro-management
and mandatory competition of Department of Energy (DOE)
lab contracts may prove counterproductive and detrimental
to the core scientific missions of the labs, witnesses
last week warned the House Energy Subcommittee. Members
agreed with Administration and General Accounting Office
(GAO) witnesses, however, that some government oversight
of lab contractors is necessary, but questioned whether
contract mechanisms can be a successful management tool.

New Pixar Studio?
Teid Offers Animation
It
may not be Monsters, Inc., but TEID is
getting into the animation business. Animation
can provide scientists with a powerful new visualization
tool as cutting edge research becomes more complex
and difficult to communicate. TEID animations
explore the macro, molecular, and submolecular
levels—whether it's a 3-D model of the Molecular
Foundry, a video
of ethylene adsorption and hydrogenation on a
platinum surface, or an animation of nanotubes
in action. To learn more about TEID’s animation
services, go
here. |

Tutorial on Component
Software Development
Registration
is now open for a one-day tutorial on Common Component
Architecture (CCA) to be held Friday, Aug. 8,
on the Clark Kerr campus of UC Berkeley. There
is no charge for the tutorial, which is being
organized by the Computational Research Division.
Component-based approaches, such as CCA, to software
development provide a means to manage the complexity
of large-scale software applications and facilitate
the reuse and interoperability of code. Read the
tutorial abstract here

Outage
Scheduled on July 19
Electric
power will be turned off to buildings 55, 55A,
56, 60, 63, 67, 71F, 71J, and 71T on Saturday,
July 19, from about 6 a.m. until 5:30 p.m. The
outage is necessary to permit maintenance on a
primary transformer bank. Contact Jim Murphy
at 4175 or 6023 for further information. |
