Tour Guides Sought;
Stipends Available

Berkeley Lab periodically provides public tours of its facilities. Post doc researchers and graduate students generally conduct these two-hour tours. Being a guide offers a great experience in public speaking and science communication, and the Community Relations Office sponsors training and pays a $70 stipend for each tour. The Fall 2007 Tour Guide training will start in August; interested employees (non-career) can apply. Read more about it here, or contact the Community Relations Office at x7292.
