The forum@MSD series is a new format we’re experimenting in collaboration with the Material Science Division at Berkeley Lab, where we bring a top scientist to introduce a scientific subject, and we let two or three postdocs presenting their research. The forum is aimed at cultivating collaboration across MSD among …
The Berkeley Lab postdocs were delighted to be given a tour of the Mathematical Sciences Research Institute by its director David Eisenbud! All the pictures are available here. We’ve learned many things about how Mathematical science works, and the many differences in how it is conducted. Most postdocs come here …
We had the great honor to welcome Mina Bissell for the Series X seminar (the pictures are available here.) She fought all her life to get her research accepted, but also smashing gender barriers. She’s always been a great advocate of the postdocs. Trust yourself, you only have one life …
We are now offering orientation to postdocs on a monthly basis, in collaboration with the human resources at the lab. We essentially give an overview of the science at the lab and the life in Berkeley. The presentation is available here.
It’s Open Access Week. And, postdocs are at the forefront to promote Open Access (OA) as an important scientific and societal movement. To further raise awareness we devote this blog post to OA by mentioning and briefly discussing the two main options for us—for researchers at Berkeley Lab—to publish OA. …
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. …
Tom Donnelly, head of the department of physics at Harvey Mudd College came to Berkeley Lab to give a presentation about careers at college, and explained the difference between university and colleges to an audience of postdocs. He later on engaged with the participants around lunch, and visited the Advanced …
