|
For their efforts to make Berkeley Lab a safer place, 19 employees received “spot” awards from Director Steve Chu. It was the second set of safety incentive awards given under a new program implemented by Environment, Health and Safety. The winners include Brian Taylor, Vil Anabeza, Janie Morse, Denise Washington, Kevin Haugh, Robert Kelley, James Martinez, Lynn January, Gerald Duncan, and Keith Hayes, all of Facilities; Don Lucas and Robert Cheng of Environmental Energy Technologies; Sharon Buckley Hernandez, Csaba Toth and Peter Seidl of the Accelerator and Fusion Research Division; Pat Dobson of Earth Sciences; Hugh Higley and Nate Liggins of Engineering; and Linda Matyas of Operations. Nominations to be still considered in this fiscal year must be submitted before Friday. Submit an outline of nominated efforts that encourage safe work practices to the relevant Division safety coordinator, to the online suggestion box, or to Edith Perry. Go here to see a photo of some of the winners.

Guidelines, Website
Assist With Fiscal Close
With the end of the fiscal year only a few weeks away, Division finance and business management staffs are working hard to meet fiscal close deadlines. Go here for more information on fiscal close, or visit the Office of the Chief Financial Officer fiscal close website. In addition to communications aimed at the finance and business community — such as targeted e-mails, details on the BLIS and IRIS portals, and a Close Status Line with voice recording announcing the status of accounting activity and financial reports — a regular notice in “Today at Berkeley Lab” will note important fiscal close dates and deliverables.

Ex-Seaborg Colleague
Margaret Fuchs Dies
Margaret Melhase Fuchs, a pioneering scientist in American research on the atomic nucleus who also worked on the wartime atomic bomb project, but whose career hopes were thwarted by the academic sexism of that era, died Aug. 8 at age 87 at her home in Menlo Park. In the late 1930s, then a UC Berkeley undergraduate, she and the famed Berkeley Lab chemist Glenn Seaborg co-discovered an isotope of the element cesium, cesium-137, which is now widely used in industrial research and medical therapy. Full story.

Editorial: Support
New Energy Research
Since the Department of Energy announced a few weeks ago its intent to fund bioenergy centers that will, among their charges, develop cellulosic ethanol to replace oil as a fuel supply, Bay Area facilities – including Berkeley Lab – have made their intentions known that they will compete for the funding. The Oakland Tribune newspaper thinks that’s a worthy goal for the region and editorialized that this science “aimed at developing alternative energy…we ought to encourage and support.” Read the full editorial here.
