'Brown Bag' Monday

Chu
Berkeley Lab Director Steve Chu's first "brown bag" lunch with employees since he arrived in August is scheduled for next Monday, Jan. 10, from noon to 1 p.m. in Perseverance Hall. Employees are invited to bring their lunches and questions to the table and converse with the Director about Lab matters. The informal get-togethers were initiated by Chu's predecessor, Chuck Shank, two years ago to give staff the opportunity to engage in a dialogue with Lab leadership.

ScienceMatters@Berkeley, an online publication produced by the campus's College of Letters and Science, goes back to the year 1955 in a feature story on Berkeley Lab researchers Emilio Segré and Owen Chamberlain. Their discovery 50 years ago of the antiproton garnered both scientists a Nobel Prize in Physics in 1959. The site also includes a link to a complete listing of all Berkeley Lab Nobelists. Full story.
