Thomas
McKone, a senior scientist in the Environmental
Energy Technologies Division, was awarded the International
Society of Exposure Analysis’s (ISEA) 2003 Constance
L. Mehlman Award for his “contributions in exposure
analysis research that provided new approaches for the
reduction or prevention of exposures and that helped
shape national and state policies.” Specifically,
McKone developed the CalTOX model, which assesses the
risk of hazardous waste and air pollutants, and is widely
used by state and federal agencies in the U.S and Europe.
McKone received the award at the annual ISEA conference
held last week in Italy. For details about McKone’s
research, click here.

Lasers
Create Possibilities For Biological Technology
Researchers
at the University of Colorado at Boulder and Berkeley
Lab have taken another step in the quest to build a
compact, tabletop x-ray microscope that could be used
for biological imaging at super-high resolution. By
firing a femtosecond laser -- a laser that generates
light pulses with durations as short as 100 trillionth
of a second -- through a gas-filled tube, they were
able to create more efficient "laser-like"
beams in regions of the spectrum that were previously
inaccessible. The research, published today in Science,
involves Berkeley Lab’s Andy Aquila,
David Attwood, and Eric Gullikson.

New On-line
Archive for Biology
By
Charles Q Choi
The
physics community's open-access server for math and
physics archives, www.arXiv.org,
has created a site for quantitative biology papers called
“q-bio.” This new site is intended to draw
physicists into working on problems of direct biological
relevance. Scientists interested in biological physics,
computational biology, neural science, systems biology,
bioinformatics, mathematical biology, and theoretical
biology are invited to subscribe and submit preprints
and reprints to q-bio. The full story can be read here.

Government Seeks Next
Generation of Biosensors
By
Ted Agres
The
Department of Homeland Security's Advanced Research
Project Agency (HSARPA) has issued its first call for
proposals to develop the next generation of biosensors
for detecting potential biological and chemical attacks.
HSARPA plans to award $350 million in contracts this
year and is seeking proposals to develop, field test,
and commercialize sensors capable of detecting a wide
range of biological and chemical agents in the open
air as well as inside buildings. For the full story,
