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, […]
