Robert
Jacobsen, who holds a joint appointment with Berkeley
Lab and the UC Berkeley Physics Department, has been named
2003 recipient of the campus’ Donald Sterling Noyce
Prize for Excellence in Undergraduate Teaching. The award,
which carries a cash prize of $7,500, is given annually
to a tenure-track faculty member in the College of Chemistry
or Division of Physical Sciences who has demonstrated
excellence in undergraduate teaching, including curriculum
development. The selection is made by a faculty committee,
based on letters of nomination, student evaluations, course
materials, and supporting materials from faculty. |

Gammasphere’s
Starring
Role in ‘The Hulk’
In
the movie The Hulk, intrepid Berkeley scientist Bruce
Banner is zapped by a machine called a Gammasphere.
As a result, Banner transforms into a massive green
monster at times of stress. Although Banner and his
hulking alter ego are the latest fictional characters
to emerge from comic book pages and make their way onto
the big screen, Gammasphere is not merely a science
fiction plot device. While scientists in real-world
labs have never been turned into green giants by the
machine, the real-life Gammasphere, built at Berkeley
Lab, has provided valuable information about some other
monstrosities. “Gammasphere allows us to study
the forces inside unstable atomic nuclei that don’t
exist in nature,” says Paul Fallon, a researcher
at Berkeley Lab, where key scenes from The Hulk were
filmed. Full
story. |

Berkeley
Lab scientists have developed the world’s first
x-ray computed tomography (CT) scanner capable of examining
entire core samples at remote drilling sites. The portable
device, which employs the same high-resolution imaging
technology used to diagnose diseases, could help researchers
determine how to best extract the vast quantities of
natural gas hidden under the world’s oceans and
permafrost. Full

Power
Outages
Set for Saturday
Electrical
power outages are scheduled this Saturday in the
building 50 and 85 complexes for electrical maintenance
and repair. The building schedule:
50A, 50C, and 50E: 6 a.m.- 6 p.m.
50B, 50D, 50F: 7 a.m.- 3:30 p.m.
85, 85A, 85B: 8 a.m.- 2 p.m.
Power will not be affected in the main Building
50 section. Almost all computers in the buildings
will be shut down for the day. The Lab's central
e-mail, Internet and directory servers are expected
to remain in service, but all other centralized
and desktop systems will be down. For additional
information, contact Jim Murphy at 6023
or George Ames at 6837.
Jewelry
On Sale Today
For Grads, Dads, Brides
The
Berkeley Lab Employees Recreation Association
will be holding its annual June gold jewelry sale
today in the cafeteria lobby from 8 a.m. to 2
p.m. Staged by Karats (“The Gold People”),
the sale features chains, bracelets, rings, charms,
earrings and white gold, many items well below
retail cost. An additional 10% discount will be
given on all prices.
UC’s
START Program
Not Applicable to Labs
As
many employees may have been told through a recent
benefits mailing, the University of California
has implemented the Staff and Academic Reduction
in Time (START) program -- a voluntary program
in which eligible employees may, with the approval
of their department, agree to reduce their working
hours and corresponding pay. START will not be
implemented at Berkeley, Livermore or Los Alamos
labs. UC adopted this measure in response to State
budget cuts, a situation not applicable to the
largely federally-funded labs.
