Quick Thinking, E911
Avert Potential Fire

Darren Moore, a custodian who’s worked in Building 90 for the past 16 years, recently smelled something burning while on his cleanup rounds. He immediately called 7911. Moore, however, is deaf and can't speak. He was able to get his message through thanks to determination and the Lab’s Enhanced 911 (E911) emergency phone system, which automatically determined the location of his call. Firefighters were immediately dispatched and found a smoldering computer monitor. Moore’s quick action, combined with the E911 system, averted a possible fire. “I showed the firefighters where the smell came from, and they confirmed my suspicions when they found the monitor,” said Moore, speaking through an interpreter. Go here to learn more about E911.

The American Physical Society's Division of Beam Physics (APS-DBP) has announced that Jeroen van Tilborg, currently in the Chemical Sciences Division, has won the APS-DBP's annual Award for Outstanding Doctoral Thesis in Beam Physics for his dissertation. His publication describes the detection, characterization, and imaging of coherent terahertz radiation from laser-wakefield-accelerated electron beams. Van Tilborg did his thesis work as a graduate student in Wim Leemans' LOASIS group in AFRD. He was also advised by Marnix van der Wiel of the Technical University Eindhoven (the Netherlands), the institution which awarded his Ph.D. The award is announced in the current APS-DBP newsletter.

Youngsters conduct a DNA spooling experiment
|
|
|

Lab employees brought nearly 100 children — sons, daughters, relatives and friends ages 9 to 16 — to the Lab on April 26 to learn about science as part of the annual "Daughters and Sons to Work Day." Teenagers attended workshops hosted by the Accelerator and Fusion Research, Earth Sciences, and Life Sciences Divisions, while the younger kids enjoyed a virtual visit to Mars and presentations on liquid nitrogen, structures and changes in matter, and DNA spooling. Career fairs for boys and girls were also held. The event was made possible by staff at the Lab's Center for Science and Engineering Education and these volunteers: Sharon Borglin, Christine Celata, Bill Fisher, Graham Fleming, Eleanor Lee, Bill Moses, Ina Reichel, Chip Smith, Cailyn Spurrell, Pat Thomas, Margaret Torn and Marty White.
