EETD Helps Design High
School Physics Class

High school science teacher Janice Lord-Walker and her colleagues are running a five-week class called "Physics for Building Science" this summer at Laney College for Oakland high school students. The class is an opportunity to learn about physics by way of the workings of environmental control technology - refrigerators, air conditioners, furnaces and other such devices. Scientists in Berkeley Lab's Environmental Energy Technologies Division helped design the curriculum. Read more about the program here.

Lab Researchers
Work Toward Cures

Downing

High on a hilltop above the city, researchers at Berkeley Lab are working every day to contribute to both the scientific and world communities.   For example, in the Donner Lab, under life scientist Kenneth Downing, graduate student Alison Killilea works on a microscopic level to understand the medications used to treat breast, lung and ovarian cancer. She works with a chemotherapeutic drug, commercially sold as Taxol and generically known as paclitaxel, which inhibits the replication, or mitosis, of cells. Full story.
