In the world of science, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) is synonymous with “excellence.” It fosters groundbreaking fundamental science that enables transformational solutions for energy and environment challenges, using interdisciplinary teams and by creating advanced new tools for scientific discovery. Research areas include Biosciences, Computing Sciences, Earth and Environmental Sciences, Energy Sciences, Energy Technologies, and Physical Sciences.
Berkeley Lab’s User Facilities provide state-of-the-art resources for scientists across the nation and around the world. About 10,000 researchers a year use these facilities, representing nearly one third of the total for all Department of Energy Office of Science User Facilities. These include the Advanced Light Source (ALS), Joint Genome Institute (JGI), Molecular Foundry, National Energy Research Scientific Computing Center (NERSC), and the Scientific Networking Division - Energy Sciences Network (ESnet).
Isn't the simple answer to all of whining about energy efficiency in these buildings that they weren't designed for energy efficiency? And why would they be? Energy is cheap, and people are willing to pay for buildings that allow in tons of light and look good. Hence all the glass. If people want to pay for energy efficiency, they obviously can. But it's not obvious why they should. I own a house that was built in the 1980s. It's terrible from an energy efficiency standpoint, as most houses built in that era are. I have a heat pump. My electric bill is still less than $200/mo even during hot summers. If my house were built with modern energy efficient building science, it would have been much more expensive. So it's a simple trade off that the homeowner (or building owner) has every right to make. I get the jaded view of "green" on the commercial side, but it's easy to explain. Commercial building owners like to pretend to be "green," because there's a senseless, almost religious commitment to "green" today, without any consideration for cost and tradeoffs. Which is to say, there's no consideration for basic economics. What is the cost of "being green" versus the cost of not being "green?" And what do people prefer and at what cost? The problem with this lecture, and most modern attitudes among engineers and designers, is they don't care what the buyer wants or can afford. They don't care about the difficult tradeoffs and choices that homebuyers and the builders they hire must make in order for real humans (which is to say, middle class humans) need to make. This guy's irritating sarcasm just bleeds contempt for anyone on a budget who wants a house.
0:10!! after the Strider Technologies report on how over 154 Chinese scientists who worked on government-sponsored research at the U.S.’s Los Alamos National Laboratory over the last two decades have been recruited to do scientific work in China, I thought we would see a different approach towards admitting and hiring foreign scientists, it seems not.
Hola. Se que este video ya es de varios años atrás ahora estamos en el 2024. Pero tengo un caso que me gustaría compartir con la doctora. Es acerca de el transplante de bacterias. Mi esposo tiene una diarrea crónica desde los 10 años de edad y en la actualidad ya tiene 52 años y está decayendo mucho. Espero alguien me pudiera dar su contacto. Espero llegue este mensaje a alguien que me pueda ayudar. Gracias. Saludos cordiales desde México
Josh Harnet portrayed Ernest Lawrence in the movie Oppenheimer. He was the one that built that giant apparatus that led to an experiment verifying nuclear fission was possible. They barely showed it. What a wasted opportunity that was. 🤦
3 Nobel winners recently looked at the graph of storms/floods/droughts etc, and said, "The FLATTEST line I have ever seen!" Further, the IPCC itself admits, "There is NO increase in storms/floods/droughts." Hansen was admonished by the US Gov for not revealing hos method in arriving at World temperature, and for its OBSCURITY! Alarmists are mediocre; liars; cheats; bullies.
