The Berkeley Lab Postdoc Association is an organization run by and for about 1000 postdocs and early career scientists working at the Lawrence Berkeley National Lab. We organize many activities to strengthen our ties to the Lab, to each other and to the (Berkeley) Bay Area. Our goal is to facilitate social interactions, scientific exchanges, seminars and general orientation.
 
SF Marathon fundraiser

SF Marathon fundraiser

The San Francisco marathon will be up on Sunday, July 31, for the 39th time. A lot of people participate, many of which use the opportunity to run for a good cause. Just like Lydia Terborg who is a postdoc with the ESDR at the Lab.me in running gear

Lydia will go for the half-marathon distance. And, she has started a fundraiser to collect money for postdocs at the Lab. We will use the funds via the Berkeley Lab Foundation to provide food and beverages during social events such as picnics and Pub Nights.

Donate by going here, then click on “Donate to a Fundraiser”, and select “Berkeley Lab Postdoc Association”. Also, encourage others to do so, too. Especially your PIs!

Are you going to run the marathon, too?  And, do you like to help raising money? Then, just join the BLPA team.

Have fun!
