One of the Lab’s Stewardship values is that of team science. As our Stewardship website explains, this value is important because innovative solutions to complex problems arise from a diversity of thought, approaches, experiences, and roles.  For many people, team science is the interdisciplinary scientific collaboration across Research Areas, a tradition that started with Ernest […]

1,520 attendees. 104 speakers. Live endorsement by the Secretary of Energy. A livestream from space. By all measures, the National Energy Storage Summit, led by Berkeley Lab on March 8-9, was a resounding success. Such an endeavor was the work of many hands over many months. A brainchild of Lab Director Mike Witherell last spring, […]

The Agile BioFoundry’s road to success was not a straight one; there were a few twists and turns along the way.  It all started well enough. It was 2013, and President Barack Obama had just given his State of the Union address, exhorting the country to make those investments in science that would strengthen U.S. […]

Congratulations to ETA’s Gozde Barim (ESDR) and ESA’s Chaochao Dun (Molecular Foundry), Katherine Sytwu (Molecular Foundry), and Jennifer Wacker (Chemical Sciences) for being selected as participants in this year’s Lindau Nobel Laureate Meeting as part of the UC President’s Lindau Nobel Laureate Meeting Fellowship program. The postdocs will attend the in-person meeting and have the […]

Export control is not always at the top of our minds, yet increasingly is an important topic for universities and science laboratories. Export control touches our research at Berkeley Lab in multiple ways, some not as obvious as we might think. Lab Director Mike Witherell shares his thoughts on our export control responsibilities in this […]
