Berkeley Lab Prominent
In Physics ‘Life List’
By Glennda Chui
Bird watchers have "life lists" of species they hope to see in their lifetimes. Why shouldn’t particle physics fans do the same? With that in mind, the April issue of Symmetry magazine asked readers to help put together the first particle physics life list. The results appear in the August issue, the cover of which features Ernest Lawrence’s hand-held cyclotron from Berkeley Lab’s Building 50 lobby exhibit. Other items from Berkeley include Glenn Seaborg’s cigar boxes and Lawrence’s desk (also in the lobby), the Advanced Light Source’s “particle adventure” website, the Lab’s turkeys and goats, and its dramatic bay views. Go here for the full list, and here to read an essay from the magazine on plutonium.

Clean energy innovations may be getting off the ground in labs and start-up business plans, but making them commonplace for consumers is another matter. The government must do more to speed up the spread of greener technologies, said experts at a recent conference on sustainability in the business world. "The bigger problem isn't an energy problem, it's a carbon problem," said Steve Selkowitz, with Berkeley Lab’s Environmental Energy Technologies Division. Yet, new laws, tax breaks, and new gadgets won't achieve progress if Americans continue to waste so much energy. "What we can learn from developing countries are smarter lifestyles," he said. Full story.

Quiz Yourself on Disposal
Of Used Bulbs, Tubes
Question: How do you properly dispose of burned-out fluorescent light tubes or bulbs? 1) Throw it in the trash 2) Toss it in your satellite accumulation area (SAA) 3) Stash it in a drawer 4) Mail it to Facilities or 5) Call the Work Request Center for a free pickup? If you picked "5," you are correct. Fluorescent bulbs and tubes contain mercury, a waste that is regulated in California and must be disposed of safely. Call the Work Request Center (x6274) if you have bulbs or tubes that need to be picked up. Go here to learn more.
