Genetic
Sequencing's
Effect on Biology
When
the Department of Energy tapped the University of California-managed
Joint Genome Institute to participate in the sequencing
of the Human Genome Project, two things happened between
the start and completion of the sequencing, says institute
director Eddy Rubin in an interview airing this
week on the UC radio program Science Today. Read a text
version of the interview here,

Data-Sharing
Tool Helps Building Owners
By
Nadine M. Post An
era of greater efficiency and productivity founded on
the use of a shared computerized database for a facility
is inching closer to reality, claim proponents of interoperability.
They point to the recent release of a "more-capable"
version of a building model that, if adopted, allows
the interchange of data among different software applications.
"The ostensible news is the release of IFC 2x2,"
which has increased capability for activities such as
architecture, and electrical and structural engineering,
said Berkeley Lab’s Stephen E. Selkowitz,
head of the Building Technologies Department. Full
story. |

| Mentors
Needed For
High School Students
Berkeley
Lab had 99 applications for the six week High School Student
Research Participation Program starting June 18. Over
25 students have been selected and placed in labs and
offices for the summer. The program still needs a few
more mentors who can provide a student with a meaningful
work assignment. If interested, please contact Rollie
Otto at x5325 or Joe Crippen at x5816. |

| Young
Builders Will
Love LHS Exhibits
Two
of the most popular building materials for youngsters
-- LEGOs and K'NEX -- are being featured now and
throughout the summer at the Lawrence Hall of
Science. The LEGO Ocean Adventure includes a habitat
in which scientists live while doing underwater
research, a coral reef with sea creatures, and
a deep-sea rover model. A special pool of blocks
is available for toddlers. And at K'NEXTECH, over
1 million K'NEX rods, connectors, pulleys, and
panels are available to build at three stations:
space exploration, toy technology, and simple
machines. Children 5 and older can build and take
home a free space shuttle. Find out more here. |
