Runaround
Is Just
Around the Corner
It’s
time to start getting in shape for the Lab’s
26th annual Runaround, which takes place Friday,
Oct. 10 at noon. The race starts at the Firehouse
and finishes up 1.86 miles later at the Cafeteria.
There’s no need to register, and participants
can enjoy refreshments and entertainment after
the completion of the race. Visit the Runaround
website for more information.

Environmental
Energy Technologies Division researchers Tica Novakov,
Surabi Menon, and Tom Kirchstetter have
grants from NASA to fund projects that “contribute
to the NASA Earth Science Enterprise’s Multidisciplinary
Research in Climate, Chemistry, and Global Modeling.”
The research will explore the optical properties of black
carbon containing aerosols in the atmosphere, and how
mixing state of black carbon with other aerosol constituents
alter the single scattering albedo. Novakov will receive
$100,000 for one year, Menon, $260,000 over three years,
and Kirchstetter, $340,000 over three years. |

'Young Innovator'
Among the Lab's Ranks

An
article in last Tuesday’s ‘Today at Berkeley
Lab,' described materials scientist Peidong Yang’s
inclusion in MIT’s Technology Review Top 100 Young
Innovators list. He’s not the only Lab researcher
on that exclusive list. Also included is physical bioscientist
Jay Groves, 32, who uses a variety of new chip-based
strategies to dissect the function of living and reconstituted
cell membranes down to the molecular level. Go here
to read Bob Sanders' UC Berkeley press release on Groves
and three other award-winning Lab scientists. |

What
goes on in a journalist’s head? Why do editors
write such misleading headlines? Why aren’t there
more exciting stories on scientific sub-fields? David
Kestenbaum, an escaped physicist who is now a commentator
for National Public Radio, will try to answer these
mysteries and offer advice on ways to talk to a general
audience about science tomorrow at 11 a.m. in Building
50’s auditorium, sponsored by the Nuclear Science
Division.
Shoring
Up the Hillside
Workers
are repairing damage from a small landslide that occurred
alongside McMillan Road. Traffic is being diverted through
the ALS parking lot while the area is filled with rocks.
Construction should be completed by the end of September.
