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.

Uncharted 2016

Berkeley Lab got a chance to bring some science to Uncharted, with Ruimin Qiao talking about how her research shines a light on batteries, and Sinead Griffin (@sineatrix) on how size doesn’t matter in science. The event was held October 14-15th in Berkeley, bringing together renown columnists and social activists.

Ruimin was the winner of the ALS/Molecular Foundry Science Slam, and Sinead recently won the Bay Area Falling Walls competition.

The organizers (Berkeleyside) kindly handed free admission to half a dozen of postdocs of the lab.
