| Smoot at news conference |
A Grand Day for Lab:
Smoot Nobel Across U.S.
Physicist George Smoot's Nobel Prize yesterday brought recognition to Berkeley Lab, UC Berkeley, and the Department of Energy in media stories across the country. Smoot, too, boosted that recogntion at his press conference by giving credit to Berkeley Lab and its environment that fosters big ideas and makes it possible to pursue them. He was quick to acknowledge the large team of scientists and engineers that participated in the research and the Energy Department for much of the funding. "For me it's been special being at Berkeley, and it has been particularly special being at Berkeley Lab," he said. "It was a place where I was not only given the freedom and the resources to do the research, but shown the style of how to do the research. It was: Pick out the best science you can do and do it. That was so liberating. At Berkeley, it's no wonder the Free Speech Movement started here. It was the free science movement. That was the thing that really made it so that I could think about science that was out of the ordinary and into a new field." Reports appeared everywhere, including the Los Angeles Times, Contra Costa Times, Oakland Tribune, KGO-TV, and the New York Times.

This past weekend, Congressional resolutions were introduced in the U.S. House of Representatives and Senate recognizing Berkeley Lab's 75th anniversary. House Resolution, H.Res. 1067, introduced by Congressman Vernor Ehlers, was cosponsored by local Congressman Mike Honda. Senate Resolution, S. Res. 595, was introduced by Sen. Pete Domenici, Chairman of the Committee on Energy and Natural Resources, and was cosponsored by Sen. Jeff Bingaman of New Mexico. California Senators Dianne Feinstein and Barbara Boxer are original cosponsors of the resolution. The resolutions are expected to pass both houses when Congress reconvenes for a post election session on Nov. 14.
