Two Lab Scientists
Admitted to AAAS

Alber
Clark

Thomas Alber, of the Physical Biosciences Division, and Douglas Clark, in Environmental Energy Technologies Division, were recently inducted into the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS). This group is the world's largest general federation of scientists and the publisher of the journal "Science." Members are selected by their peers "because of their efforts to advance science or applications that are deemed scientifically or socially distinguished."

Employees Asked to Give To SHARES Campaign

Today marks the start of the Lab’s SHARES annual charitable giving campaign. A web-based system of pledging replaces the old paper packet process. To give to a favorite charity, visit the SHARES website and read the instructions for navigating the electronic form. To ensure security of all information, donors will need to insert a ten-digit user code – employee number plus home zip code – and create their own password. E-mail [email protected] with questions regarding the campaign or donation process.

Computer access will be offered throughout the month in the second-floor reception area of Building 6, and the first-floor lobby of Building 937. The first of three general information sessions will be held this Wednesday at 10:30 a.m. in Building 2-100B.

Work will start this week on rerouting and resurfacing the road through the corporation yard adjacent to Building 31. The road from Lot W to the lower switchback bench areas will be closed to traffic for approximately two weeks, affecting parking in the yard and access to the lower storage areas.
