Carlos
Bustamante Wins NAS Biophysics Award
Carlos
Bustamante, head of the Physical Biosciences
Division’s Advanced Microscopies Department,
and a professor of molecular and cell biology,
physics, and chemistry at UC Berkeley, has been
awarded the Alexander Hollaender Award in Biophysics
by the National Academy of Sciences. Bustamante,
who receives a $20,000 prize, was chosen "for
his ingenious use of atomic force microscopy and
laser tweezers to study the biophysical properties
of proteins, DNA, and RNA, one molecule at a time."

Physicists
Split on
Big Bang Experiments
By
Keay Davidson
Particle
physicists are on the brink of a fabulous
new discovery about the birth of the universe.
There's just one catch: They're not sure
what it is. It could be the same discovery
they've sought for two decades -- an eerie
entity called the "quark-gluon plasma,"
the hypothetical mother of all cosmic matter.
Or it could be something radically different,
something so strange they can't even precisely
define it. Full
story.

Dr.
Al Erisman has been invited by Computing Sciences to
give a talk entitled "Nine Good Reasons to Be Ethical
at the Lab," starting at 2 p.m. tomorrow in the
Building 50 auditorium. Erisman is a professor who teaches
business ethics in Seattle, and also is an applied mathematician
who formerly managed a staff of 250 researchers at Boeing.
He is familiar with both the research environment and
the ethical issues confronted by staff working in a
large research organization. All Lab employees are invited
to attend.
U.S.
Bank E-Mail
On Fraud is a Fraud
Clients
of the U.S. Bank credit card, which is used at Berkeley
Lab, are warned that a small number of cardholders may
be the victims of a fraud. They may have received an
e-mail suggesting that their U.S. Bank account has been
suspended due to fraudulent activity. The e-mail also
provides a link to verify the cardholder's identity
and to reactivate the card. The message is itself a
fraud. Recipients should not reply and should not click
on the link. Rather, forward it to [email protected].
No cards have been suspended and all Corporate Cards
are secure and remain active. Also, the Lab does not
provide U.S. Bank with cardholder e-mail addresses.
New Version of Mimail
Worm Now Spreading
A new version of the Mimail worm, Downloader.Mimail.B,
has been spreading on the Internet. This variant sends
e-mail messages with the following subject: PAYPAL.COM
NEW YEAR OFFER. Each message offers a prize for registering
with PayPal and has two attachments, a Zip file and
a web site to a download that infects Windows systems.
Do not register with personal and financial information,
and do not open the attachments.
