Today’s
"State of the Laboratory" address by Lab Director
Charles Shank, at noon in the Building 50 Auditorium,
will look at both this past year’s accomplishments and
the laboratory’s scientific svision for the future. The
talk is second in the Summer Lecture Series and is the Director’s
annual assessment for employees of the lab’s health. Those
who can’t attend the presentation in person can either
view it live on one of the "Today at Berkeley Lab"
monitors throughout the lab, or via web streaming. Instructions
on how to link to the videocast feed can be found here. |

Top
Mentors for 2002 To Be Honored Today
Berkeley
Lab’s outstanding mentors who worked with visiting
students last year will be honored today as part of
a welcoming reception for this summer’s students
and mentors. Receiving awards from Lab Director Charles
Shank and Center for Science and Engineering Education
Head Rollie Otto will be Ellie Blakely, Kathleen
Bjornstad, Priscilla Cooper and Jill Fuss,
all from the Life Sciences Division; Sharon Borglin
from Earth Sciences; and Lara Gundel, Michael Siminovitch
and Craig Wray from Environmental Energy Technologies.
The 3:30 p.m. ceremony in the cafeteria will necessitate
closure of the Coffee Bar at 2:30 today.

Researchers
Help Internet
Evolve with PlanetLab

Researchers
from UC Berkeley and a team of scientists from around
the world have launched an experimental global network
intended to push the Internet into a new era of innovation.
This global test-bed, called PlanetLab, establishes
an open, scalable network that allows researchers to
develop new Internet services that operate simultaneously
on multiple computers spread over a wide geographic
range rather than on a single website. Such a system
could lead to significantly faster downloads and more
secure storage systems. More than 60 universities have
joined forces with Intel and Hewlett-Packard in this
project. Berkeley Lab’s David Culler, professor
of computer science and co-director of the Intel Research
Berkeley laboratory, is part of the core team that designed
the architecture for PlanetLab. Full
story. |

| Cafeteria
Walkway
To Close for Repairs
The
main pedestrian route between Building 50 and
the Cafeteria will be closed for repairs for about
two weeks, starting this Saturday. Barricades
will prevent access to the walkway and stairs
that lead from the cafeteria to the northeast
corner of Building 70 and from there downhill
toward Building 50. Use the designated detours
through or around Building 70, and be careful
around the job site. |

Spare-the-Air
Day
Means Use Transit
Today
will be the second consecutive Spare-the-Air Day
at the start of the ozone season. High temperatures
and decreased wind flow will continue to cause
high ozone levels in locations where air flow
is most restricted, and conditions may continue
tomorrow. Use public transit, share a ride, walk
to work, or bicycle in order to reduce the amount
of pollution in the air. For more on what you
can do to spare the air, go here. |

Students
Reminded About Radiation,
Laser Safety
Summer
students at Berkeley Lab working with researchers
on projects involving the use of radioactive material
and radiation-producing machines are required
to take EH&S 400/432, "Radiation Safety
Training." (Register here.
Students under 18 are not permitted to work with
radioactive material). Additional on-the-job training
must be provided by the principal investigator
or designee and all radiation workers must read,
understand and sign the Radiological Work Authorization
(RWA) prior to beginning work. Principal investigators
must also ensure that students are listed on the
Activity Hazard Document (AHD) for the laser lab,
attend laser safety training EH&S 280, and
for class 3b and class 4 lasers receive a laser
eye exam. For more information, contact Chris
Donahue at 7736, or read the policies here. |
