Cyber Team from DOE
Visiting Lab This Week
A team from the Office of Science will be at Berkeley Lab this week to conduct a large-scale review of the effectiveness of the Lab’s cyber security programs. Their activities will include interviews, computer scanning and testing, and assessments of employee awareness. Weaknesses in the system will be identified and an improvement plan recommended. If you have any questions about this audit or computer security in general, contact your computer security liaison.

Multi-Color Flag Flies
For Gay Pride Month
The Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, Transgendered and Friends (GLBTF) club at Berkeley Lab has once again displayed the rainbow flag on the fence near building 65. The flag hangs every year in June in celebration of Gay Pride Month and serves to reiterate the importance of diversity and acceptance. The Employee Activities Association and the GLBTF club encourage all employees to celebrate the broad spectrum of diversity that exists at Berkeley Lab.

Physicist Looks Back,
Ahead 75 Years in Field

Lawrence |

In the year that Berkeley Lab is celebrating its 75-year legacy since Ernest Lawrence pioneered particle accelerators in 1931, Spencer Weart of the American Institute of Physics takes a look at the field since that time, and the prospects ahead 75 years. Among his comments: “In hindsight, it is clear that one of the best roads forward for the physicist of 1931 was the one Lawrence was taking. That road led to the discovery and understanding of new nuclear particles. Physicists in 1931 recognized that the nucleus was a storehouse of enormous energies, but few expected to unlock it soon, if ever. Within 15 years, however, nuclear fission had totally changed international politics and seemed poised to revolutionize the world economy.” Full story.
Nano Goods Arrive, With
Questions About Safety
“Nanotechnology may revolutionize our lives. The first generation of engineered products has reached consumers, and with them come hard questions about safety.” That’s how the Los Angeles Times introduced reporter Charles Piller’s analysis of one of the fastest-growing segments of science and technology. Along with the limitless potential of this new field to improve our lives, Piller writes, come unpredictable consequences that scientists and others are beginning to address. Read the article here.
