Buy Founders Day
Food Tickets Today
Founders Day organizers are expecting more than 1,000 people to attend the celebration tomorrow, which means a lot of hungry mouths to feed. To avoid waiting in line, staff are encouraged to buy food tickets today, available at the cafeteria coffee bar. Adult combo meals cost $6, while a kid’s meal is $3. Barring that, visitors should stop by the cafeteria lobby as early as possible tomorrow to purchase tickets there.

Search for Cosmic Dust
From the Comfort of Home
By Michael Stroh
The search for cosmic dust can take place right in your home, thanks to the work of Berkeley Lab guest Andrew Westphal and his colleagues. Their project, called Stardust@home, allows armchair scientists to join in the search for bits of interstellar debris in a sample collected by NASA’s Stardust spacecraft, which returned to Earth in January after a seven-year journey. An estimated 50 microscopic bits are thought to remain in the tennis-racket-sized particle collector, and continue to elude the NASA team. Through Stardust@home, volunteers can access an online, virtual microscope to scour Stardust’s particle collector. Read the full story here.

BLI Offers PRD
Supervisors Course
The Berkeley Lab Institute (BLI) is offering a course for supervisors on how to lead a Personal Review and Development (PRD) discussion (Course # BLI1300, How to Give PRD Feedback). Supervisors will learn how to conduct the meeting so it becomes an opportunity for the employee to learn and grow. The course is being held on Sept. 12 and 14 from 1:30 p.m. to 3 p.m. in Bldg. 2-100B. To enroll, go here.

Tree Trimming
Scheduled
Beginning Monday through September 30, Berkeley Lab will be trimming a stand of diseased Canary Pines just south of the fire house, above and west of Chicken Creek, on the Strawberry Canyon side of its facilities. Through a maintenance agreement with UC Berkeley, the Lab will extensively thin a stand of these non-native pines that were planted very close together over 50 years ago. Many of these trees are now beetle-infested, pose a fire risk, and could be a danger to nearby workers if they were to topple over in high wind conditions. A chipper will be used on the smaller limbs, and a crane will assist in moving larger logs for appropriate off-site disposal.
