NASA Langley scientist discusses Mars at February lecture
Jefferson Lab's Spring Science Series kicks off on Tuesday, February 15 at 7 p.m. in the CEBAF Center auditorium.

The event will feature Dr. Robert Mitcheltree, a NASA Langley Research Center scientist, discussing Earth's elusive neighbor: the planet Mars. His will talk about how engineering is used to help scientists study the geology, climate and the possibility of life on Mars. He has worked on a number of projects from the Viking missions to Pathfinder and is currently working on research projects planned for takeoff to Mars in 2001, 2003 and 2005. He is the lead project scientist for the Mars Sample Return Capsule being designed at NASA Langley.



ODH refresher training
now on 2-year cycle
Effective late in 1999, the refresher-training requirement for Oxygen Deficiency Hazard training changed from a one-year to a two-year cycle.

The change in the refresher-training requirement was put into the Lab's training database before year's end, according to Bruce Ullman, Staff Development and Training manager. The training database will now send out ODH training expiration notices to people who are nearing their two-year deadline. "However, if anyone receives an [electronic] ODH certification expiration notice and it's only been one year since they had refresher training, they may hit the reply button and let me know," Ullman said.



Should I come to work after the storm?
Ever wonder how you would know if the Lab closed due to bad weather or dangerous driving conditions? Don't know if you should come to work after a snow?

To find out, turn on WTKR-TV (CBS), WAVY-TV (NBC), WVEC-TV (ABC); or turn on the radio and tune in WNIS-AM (790), WTAR-AM (850), WCMS-AM (1050), WCMS-FM (100.5),

WWDE-FM (101.3) or WHRO-FM (89.5).

If you're still not sure what you should do, call the Lab at 269-7100.
