Salvaging Sun Particles
After Genesis Crash
NASA's $264 million Genesis mission came to a disastrous end when the capsule, carrying the first specks of material ever fetched from beyond the moon, crashed last Wednesday. Researchers said it would take some time to determine if the science from the mission could be salvaged. "I was on this project for the last 10 years,'' said Kunihiko Nishiizumi, a UC Berkeley chemist and Berkeley Lab guest scientist. "I expected at least five or 10 years' work to analyze it.'' His colleague, Anna Butterworth, also a Lab guest, said, "It's bad news, but we don't know how badly. The samples are there, but they're contaminated.'' Full story.

Minimizing RSI With
Ergonomic Pipettes
Repetitive
pipetting is an integral part of many procedures at
Berkeley Lab. But this motion can lead to "trigger finger,"
where the finger catches and no longer extends and flexes
smoothly. The thumb force, repetitive motions and awkward
postures of the wrists, arms and shoulders can increase
the risk of cumulative trauma disorders (CTD). Fortunately,
pipette manufacturers have redesigned their devices
to reduce the risk of CTD. These pipettes can be programmed
so the user can withdraw and dispense specific amounts
of liquid. This reduces the number of times the individual
must activate the trigger, thereby decreasing the risk
of a repetitive injury. Go here
to read about additional protective measures.
