August 16 Briefs Excerpts: 

Construction Will Impact Lab Sidewalks, Roadways and Parking, Beginning Aug. 21 
The Tech Center developer, W.M. Jordan, is planning a groundbreaking ceremony on Aug. 24 for the first building that will become part of the Tech Center’s research park. Building 1 will be built on the non-Jefferson Lab land along Hogan Drive between the Support Service Center (Building 28) and Rattley Road. The work will impact several areas north of CEBAF Center. Members of the Jefferson Lab community are reminded to stay out of construction areas; do not enter or pass through areas enclosed by construction fencing. For information on specific impacts, see the full memo: https://www.jlab.org/memo/construction-first-building-tech-center-research-park-will-impact-jlab-parking-around-ssc 

Panel Determines Lab’s Future Science 
It’s a physicist’s rite of passage. Long before researchers can get to the nitty-gritty of running an experiment -- such as installing the hardware, snagging the best run shifts, or debugging the analyzer -- they have to convince the Program Advisory Committee of its merits. In mid-July, while the dog days of summer were in full force, a wide-ranging field of experiments went under the microscope of the 13-member 45th Jefferson Lab Program Advisory Committee (PAC45).

Diversity and Inclusion Council Extends Training at Director’s Request 
On August 10, Lab Director Stuart Henderson sent a message to all non-supervisor employees regarding a series of training sessions about diversity and inclusion in the workplace and its impact on communication. Similar to the sessions offered to managers last year, these new facilitated discussions will be offered throughout the fall and winter for non-supervisors. They will touch on the potential biases that can appear, in both expected and unexpected ways, and will share practical tips employees can take back to their work environments to continue to make a difference at the laboratory.

Eclipse Viewing Glasses Available Aug. 21 in the CEBAF Center Lobby 
Eastern Virginia should experience much (80-90 percent) of the solar eclipse taking place on Monday, Aug. 21, at around 2:45 p.m. EDT. Science Education has provided the Communications Office with a supply of “eclipse shades” that are approved for safely viewing the eclipse. The supply of these glasses will be made available to the Jefferson Lab community at 9 a.m. on Aug. 21 in the CEBAF Center lobby. For more information on the eclipse and eclipse-viewing safety, see the full memo: https://www.jlab.org/wehearthat/eclipse-viewing-glasses-available-aug-21-cebaf-center-lobby 

ESH&Q Division Invites Lab Community to Visit New Building on Aug. 17 
Members of the ESH&Q Division invite the lab community to visit its new home in Building 52 on Thursday, Aug. 17, 10 a.m.–noon. The open house will give the lab community a chance to visit the new building, learn about some of its features, and catch up with many members of the lab’s ESH&Q staff. Light snacks will be provided in the conference room. While you are there, pick up a ticket for a small raffle being planned.
