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.

Sibley Volcanic Park Hike

March 1, 2019 March 1, 2019

Surprisingly close to Berkeley lies the Sibley Volcanic Regional Park, where a group of 21 postdocs hiked along the rugged mountain tops, where lava used to be flowing, still visible by the cooled down rocks, partially eroded and partially intact. We even saw a large group of newts and their eggs in the water!
