Proposed Policy Regarding
S&E Job Classifications
Berkeley Lab is proposing a change to its current RPM §2.07 (Professional Research Staff) policy (see Director’s letter here). This also requires a revision to RPM §2.01 K, 4 (Term Appointments) and to RPM §2.21 D (Release of Term Appointments). If you wish to make comments on the proposed policy changes, read the revised text for §2.07, for §2.01 K, 4, and for §2.21 D. Any comments during this 30-day review period can be sent to the Human Resources Policy Analyst at [email protected] or at MS: 90R2121 by April 1.

Smoot, Rosenfeld
Among ‘Brilliant’ 25
The editors of UCLA Magazine and California, the university and alumni magazines of UCLA and UC Berkeley, collaborated to produce a special issue celebrating 25 brilliant California ideas that were either created or took off in the past 25 years. Faculties were polled to select ideas that were transformative in five broad but far-reaching categories: media and technology, culture and society, business, science and engineering, and the environment. The final selection, made jointly by the editors in consultation with faculty leaders, included two from Berkeley Lab – energy efficiency expert Art Rosenfeld, and Nobel Prize winner George Smoot. Read about Rosenfeld in “The Power of Less,” and Smoot in “Backing up the Big Bang.”

Wake Up. It’s Sleep
Awareness Week
|
|
|
|
 |
|
|
|
The Health Care Facilitator reminds employees that March 5-9 is “National Sleep Awareness Week.” Sleep is a basic necessity of life, as important to our health and well-being as air, food and water. When we sleep well, we wake up feeling refreshed, alert and ready to face the day. When we don’t, every part of our lives can suffer. Our jobs, relationships, productivity, health and safety can be put at risk. Tips for good sleep include avoiding caffeine and alcohol close to bedtime, exercising regularly, establishing a regular bedtime and creating a sleep-conducive environment that is dark, quiet, cool and comfortable. Go here for more information. |
