Open sharing and deposition of research data is becoming more important and more common, but is a topic that can be complex to navigate. Many researchers may feel unsure about how to handle data-related issues, such as deposition of data or the different data licensing types. There are currently a range of data handling practices […]
“LINC”-ing the Bay Area National Labs for Industry
The Bay Area has an embarrassment of riches in many ways, and among these are its four national laboratories: Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory, and Sandia National Laboratories. Having four powerhouse labs at their door can be overwhelming to companies looking to collaborate with national labs. Which labs […]
Former Berkeley Lab Postdocs: Where are They Now?
Postdocs at Berkeley Lab contribute their talents and expertise in an important way to research projects. Some stay, while others move on, perhaps to academia, for-profit, non-profit, or government jobs. Some continue with research, others teach, take on science-related roles, or shift to non-science-related roles. To date, there has been little data on where postdocs […]
Mentorship: Giving Colleagues a Hand Up
Back in 2009, Deb Agarwal, then a research scientist in Computing Sciences, was mulling over some very interesting information she had collected. Whenever she asked senior-level women in computer science about what made the biggest difference in their careers, the answer was always the same. Their mentors. “I used to attend women’s mentorship workshops and […]
ARPA-E OPEN 2021 Funding Opportunity Announcement
Dear LBNL Researchers, As you may already be aware, the ARPA-E OPEN 2021 Funding Opportunity Announcement was released a couple weeks ago. The objective of this call is to support high-risk R&D leading to the development of potentially disruptive new technologies across the full spectrum of energy applications. The Lab encourages our researchers to team up internally […]
The Thermal Energy Group: Success Sparked by the LDRD Program
As the Lab approaches a new cycle for the Lab-directed Research and Development (LDRD) program, which funds innovative research at the Lab, Ravi Prasher contemplates how it sparked the success of an idea he had many years ago. In 2015, when he first came to the Lab as the division director for the […]
Beyond Moore’s Law Distinguished Lecture Series
All good things must come to an end. And so it is with the exponential progress in semiconductor performance on which the world has relied for the past decades. Further significant progress requires fundamental research. To explore the types of research Berkeley Lab may explore, a Lab group called the Beyond Moore’s Law Journal […]
Research Integrity Office: A Conversation with Joerg Heber and Horst Simon
The Lab aims to adhere to the highest standards of research integrity and ethical behavior. Listen in as Joerg Heber, the Lab’s new Research Integrity Officer and Horst Simon discuss their thoughts on and the Lab’s plans for the Research Integrity Office (11 minutes).
Affiliate Disclosure of Foreign Government-sponsored & Affiliated Activities
In accordance with the recently revised Department of Energy (DOE) order 486.1A on foreign government-sponsored & affiliated activities, disclosures of participation will now be required for affiliates, as is required for employees. Affiliates must notify the Lab if they are participating in or begin participating in a Foreign Government Talent Recruitment Program (FGTRP). In addition, the Lab […]
FY2022 LDRD Call for Proposals
The Call for Proposals for the FY2022 Laboratory Directed Research and Development (LDRD) Program is out! The LDRD program is one of the principal means to seed innovative science and new research directions at Berkeley Lab. An important factor in judging proposals will be their support of competencies aligned with the Laboratory and DOE’s strategies. […]
