Lab's Cafeteria
Removes Spinach
The Food and Drug Administration recall of fresh spinach issued last Thursday was immediately followed by the Lab cafeteria. Peter Oshinski, Eurest Manager of Cafeteria Services, said "Eurest is taking no chances and instructed us to stop using any fresh spinach and dispose of existing supplies. Our supplier picked the spinach up last Thursday." Go here for more information about the fresh spinach recall, and advice for consumers.
Reminder: Shoemobile

Due to the earthmoving activities in the Building 51 parking lot, the Iron Age Shoemobile will park in front of Building 56, just north of Building 51. For more information, call Betsy MacGowan (x2826).

Can U.S. Lead World
Into Carbon-Free Future?
By Ian Hoffman
The world has plenty of energy, enough for 500 years and probably 1,000 or more. "And that's the bad news. Because it's fossil energy," Berkeley Lab Director Steve Chu told fellow scientists at an energy conference at Stanford University Monday. Left to their present course, industrialized and developing nations are planning to burn vast quantities of fossil fuels, which will likely push the chemistry of the atmosphere toward a quadrupling of carbon dioxide concentrations. People hear about uncertainty in climate change, Chu said, and "the public assumes, 'Well, maybe it's not true.'" Full story.
JGI Uncovers Worm's

Joint Genome Institute researchers have characterized the unique lifestyle of a gutless worm that commutes through marine sediments powered by a community of symbiotic microbial specialists harbored just under its skin, obviating the need for digestive and excretory systems. The results are published in the Sept. 17 edition of Nature. JGI Director Eddy Rubin says society could learn a lot from the tale of the worm and its helpful microbial buddies and their successful adaptive lifestyle. "We have been dependent on fossil fuels. In the future we need to adapt like this worm has and use a variety of different energy sources to ensure our needs can be met in a changing world." Full story.

Aubrey de Grey, a controversial scientist who hopes to help humans live for thousands of years, has received a multimillion-dollar grant from Peter Thiel, co-founder of the online payment system PayPal. Grey says he hopes to "radically postpone aging, giving indefinite life spans." "Many of my colleagues are extremely critical of him — they believe he's a pseudoscientist, that he is out for publicity — and that he has no redeeming features," said Berkeley Lab life scientist Judith Campisi of Grey. "I must say, I don't agree with that. In his small way, he did get people to think." Full story.
