A strong force in physics shows impact beyond the lab
With a passion for understanding how the universe works and a curious desire to unfold theories with logic, it’s no wonder that Patrizia Rossi ventured into physics and is now the deputy associate director for Experimental Nuclear Physics at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility. With more than 35 years of research experience, her contributions to the scientific field are just as impactful beyond the lab.
Newport News is a city of innovators, artists, entrepreneurs, scholars, scientists, and everyone in between. To celebrate the people, businesses, and attractions that make the city unique, the City of Newport News is hosting a "Made in Newport News" event on Saturday, August 12 from 4 p.m. until 8 p.m. at Center at Oyster Point.
This free event includes live music and entertainment, art experiences, a beer garden, food, businesses, family activities, and more! Local entertainers will perform on a stage in front of the fabulous 5-acre Fountain throughout the afternoon.
Postdoctoral research associate builds on paradigm-shifting experiments
Burcu Duran is no stranger to the U.S. Department of Energy’s Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility. She conducted research at the lab as a Temple University graduate student while working toward her Ph.D. in nuclear physics. Now, Ph.D. in-hand, she is continuing her research at Jefferson Lab as a postdoctoral researcher affiliated with the University of Tennessee.
VIRTUAL WORKSHOP
Workplace Safety in Hybrid Federal Laboratories
Safety considerations are an integral part of laboratory-based R&D operations. The COVID-19 pandemic rapidly changed how laboratory work is performed by separating researchers from the lab, reducing contact between facility users, and altering the traditional mentoring process. Altogether, it is not clear how these changes...
