At
a packed press conference in Building 50 yesterday, Stanford
Professor and Nobel Prize winner Steven Chu graciously
accepted the directorship of Berkeley Lab. He will take over
the reigns from current director Charles Shank on August
1. Chu was joined by University of California President Robert
Dynes and Shank during the conference. After brief remarks,
Chu answered questions from the dozen reporters who were in
attendance, and from those off-site via conference call. To
get a taste for how the story was presented in local media
outlets, visit these websites: San
Francisco Chronicle, Oakland
Tribune, Contra
Costa Times, Mercury
News.
Registration is required for some of these sites. An in-depth
story about Chu's appointment will appear in next Friday's
issue of The View.

Chu
Hailed as 'Ideal
Match' for Lab, Campus
The
naming of Nobel laureate Steven Chu as Berkeley Lab's
new director means the Berkeley campus will soon be
welcoming home one of its own. His new appointment comes
28 years after he earned his Ph.D. in physics at UC
Berkeley. "It feels like a homecoming," Chu
said at the press conference announcing his appointment.
News of the appointment was met with unequivocal excitement
from many on campus, several of whom have personally
worked with Chu. "It's nice to have him back where
he belongs," said Chancellor Robert M. Berdahl.
"This is a wonderful appointment. The lab and campus
are so closely connected that what is good for the lab
is good for the campus, and vice versa." Full
story.
