January 2019 – July 2022
The first experiment at FRIB — which studied the beta-decay of calcium-48 fragments that are so unstable that they exist for mere fractions of a second — concluded successfully. The Lab’s Heather Crawford led the experiment at Michigan State University. https://frib.msu.edu/news/2022/first-experiment.html?utm_medium=email&utm_source=govdelivery
The Lab’s Grizzly Gate reopens July 5 for morning entrance, allowing vehicles to enter from Centennial Dr. weekdays from 6:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m. Pedestrians and cyclists can use Grizzly’s walk-in gate from 6:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. Traffic calming and safety measures are also in place.

The EcoBOT, an all-in-one experimental station, is helping Biosciences Area researchers understand the mechanics of plant and microbe interactions. The EcoBOT will eventually use artificial intelligence to analyze experimental data and decide the logical next steps to guide future experiments. https://biosciences.lbl.gov/2022/03/07/behind-the-breakthroughs-pete-andeer/
The first Department of Energy LEEP Summit for clean tech entrepreneurs will take place on July 12. More than 20 startups, including participants from Cyclotron Road, will pitch their proposals. The summit will also feature a panel on inclusive innovation and ways to connect with innovators. https://web.cvent.com/event/5ff86c4a-a658-41bd-91cb-e7b8cebe7e66/summary

Join Adam Bad Wound from GRID Alternatives and the Tribal Solar Accelerator Fund on June 29 at 12:15 p.m. to discuss energy equity and tribal community projects that strive to make renewable energy technologies more accessible and provide job training and workforce development. https://calendar.google.com/calendar/u/0/r/eventedit/copy/NGNyZzFxMmM2dmRrbDU2b3FrNTlxOWdoamwgbGJsLmdvdl80czRycmcxMmw2ZXFnNm5jbWMya3QwdmNnZ0Bn
Over 80 Lab employees, family, and friends took part in the annual San Francisco Pride Parade on Sunday. The marchers yelled out, “We love science,” and the crowd cheered and applauded in return. The event was co-sponsored by Government & Community Relations and the Lambda Employee Resource Group. https://vimeo.com/724691952/c3b0fb925e
As part of Pride Month, the Latin American and Native American, and Lambda ERGs invite everyone to a virtual screening of the award-winning short film “Acuitzeramo” today at noon, followed by a discussion with the film’s director Miguel Angel Caballero and actors Luis Antonio Aldana and Sal Lopez. https://calendar.google.com/calendar/u/0/r/eventedit/copy/NjRqcGZzOTlmcXJmdjllYWpoZzU0aGZyOGwgbGJsLmdvdl80czRycmcxMmw2ZXFnNm5jbWMya3QwdmNnZ0Bn
Cameron loved taking things apart and putting them back together as a child, and that love of figuring out how things worked led him to nuclear science and eventually the Lab. As the new sponsor of the Lambda Employee Resource Group, Cameron explains how he works to make every voice heard. https://sites.google.com/lbl.gov/weareberkeleylab/driving-research/cameron-geddes
Researchers need to store, manage, and harmonize relevant data to better understand and predict wildland fire hazards, risks, and behaviors. Researchers at the Computing Science Area at the Lab are doing just that. https://eesa.lbl.gov/strengthening-wildland-fire-science-and-scientific-collaboration-through-new-data-management-platform/
