June 8 Briefs Excerpts: 

Upcoming Jefferson Lab Pager Audit 
If you carry a Jefferson Lab-issued pager, you will soon receive an email with instructions for completing a brief online audit. This is for one-way pagers and Kyocera Duraplus texting devices and does not apply to cell phones, which will be audited separately at another time. This audit helps the lab to control the monthly recurring cost associated with pagers by identifying those that are no longer needed. If you have any questions about the audit, contact Morgan Anderson, x7799. 

Volunteers Sought to Help During Science Camp 
Most slots for the Aug. 15-19 session of Jefferson Lab’s Science Camp for Deaf and Hard of Hearing Students are filled, and Science Education staff members are seeking volunteers (from high-school students to grandparents) who are willing to assist students in completing activities and as lunch time escorts. Volunteers do not need any experience working or interacting with deaf or hard of hearing youth. A volunteer meeting will be held to discuss all of the activities and basic volunteer duties.

Occ Med Guidance: Returning to Work After a Respiratory Infection 
In recent weeks, Occupational Medicine staffers have received questions about the criteria for safe return to work during convalescence from upper respiratory infections (such as a cold with cough). This can be a difficult decision, and it's not necessary or feasible to require yourself to be completely asymptomatic before returning to work. See the full guidance from Dr. Smitty Chandler: https://www.jlab.org/wehearthat/returning-work-after-respiratory-infection 

Information on 3D Mammography 
Jefferson Lab Site Occupational Medicine Director, Dr. Smitty Chandler, has issued a notice to call attention to the existence of 3D mammography. He notes that this technology has become more available since its introduction in 2010, and evidence is accumulating that it might provide important scientific advantages, along with possible logistical and expense-related disadvantages. Learn more about the technology by visiting the links provided on We Hear That: https://www.jlab.org/wehearthat/information-3d-mammography
