Brown Bag Offers Tips
On Kidney Health
The Lab's Health Care Facilitator would like to remind employees that March is National Kidney Month. Kidneys are quite the workhorse: they remove extra fluid from the body, filter blood, produce important enzymes and hormones, activate vitamin D to maintain healthy bones, and balance fluid content in the body. The two leading causes of kidney failure in the U.S. are diabetes and high blood pressure. Drugs can treat these ailments, while a healthy weight and exercise program can control and/or prevent them. A brown-bag lunch on maintaining healthy kidneys will be held Thursday, March 31, at noon in Perseverance Hall.

Sound Preservation Work Garners NEH Grant
for Physicists
Berkeley Lab physicists Carl Haber and Vitaliy Fadeyev, who made headlines last year for their use of an optical-scanning system to recover recorded sound, are the recipients of a $350,000 grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities. The NEH grants, which total $5.4 million to 127 institutions in all, were given to projects that take steps to preserve significant books, newspapers, films, audio recordings, and papers. Full story.

Tutorial on Services
To Connect Scientists
Berkeley Lab's Distributed Systems Department, which has developed and deployed various tools and applications to help geographically dispersed scientists collaborate on scientific research, will present four tutorials to help Lab researchers to learn more about these collaborative resources. The tutorials are offered at no charge, but registration is required. Researchers may sign up for any or all of the tutorials. Go here for more information.
