Berkeley, Sandia Write
Airport Security Report





Gadgil



Price

A report that will help security managers of airports and other transportation facilities reduce the risk of chemical and biological attacks has been developed by a joint team of researchers from Berkeley and Sandia Labs. "Guidelines to Improve Airport Preparedness Against Chemical and Biological Terrorism" makes concrete recommendations on improving security and assessing vulnerable areas and helps its readers understand the nature of chemical and biological attacks. The Berkeley Lab team included Ashok Gadgil and Phil Price from the Environmental Energy Technologies Division. Full story.

Nominations Sought
For Lawrence Award

The Department of Energy is now accepting nominations for the Ernest Orlando Lawrence Awards, which honor scientists and engineers at mid-career for exceptional contributions in research and development supporting DOE and its mission. It was established in 1959 in recognition of Berkeley Lab's founder, who died in 1958. Nominations are due by Jan. 31, 2006. Go here to view a nomination brochure and here to learn more about the award.

Follow These Tips To
Improve Deliveries

The Lab's Receiving Department (housed within the Facilities Division's Site Services) would like to share a few guidelines with employees to ensure they are receiving their packages in a timely and efficient manner. Contact Denise Washington (x4935) for Lab address changes or special delivery requirements. Have tracking and purchase order numbers handy when checking on the status of deliveries. Also, only business-related deliveries should come to the Lab, no personal items. To check delivery status online, go here (using employee ID number or tracking number).
