Tune in at noon on Friday, April 30, to learn more about the Lab’s Carbon Negative Initiative, which will address the basic science required to scale negative emissions technologies, develop an analysis for integrating NETs, and ID directions for NET research. Register for this presentation. https://lbnl.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_3H-GXNzHTWODUitZ6qLHkg
This Month at the Lab: April 1966
What were employees reading in 1966? “The Magnet,” the Lab monthly newsletter. Stories included a former Lab physicist selected as an astronaut, a profile on a woman critical to the Lab since 1942, and the rediscovery of plutonium in a cigar box while a technician was disposing of old materials. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ejpc_7djBRNCsSo-rnvi8BMNQe3iJDjS/view?usp=sharing
