Theorist Nobuo Sato awarded JSA Postdoctoral Prize 
It’s not unusual for anyone to shop online at Amazon, but one young scientist went to the website looking for more than a favorite book. University of Connecticut Postdoctoral Researcher Nobuo Sato plans to conduct theoretical research in nuclear physics using the online retailer’s computing services, and he has been awarded the 2017 JSA Postdoctoral Research Grant to do it.

Jefferson Lab to Test Tornado Warning Siren at 10:30 a.m. on Friday, July 7 
Jefferson Lab's tornado warning siren will undergo its monthly operational test at 10:30 a.m. on Friday, July 7. Don't respond to the siren; this is a test of the siren system and not a personnel response exercise. If this test were an actual Tornado Warning, the SWA system messages and siren would direct you to take cover immediately in a Severe Wind Take Cover area.

JSA Initiatives Fund Program Is Accepting Proposals 
JSA is soliciting proposals for Initiatives Fund support for the FY17 program from members of the Jefferson Lab user community, Jefferson Lab researchers and staff, and other individuals or groups who can make unique contributions to the lab's research, development, education and technology transfer missions.

Proper Use of Extension Cords as Temporary Power Sources 
Use of extension cords, flexible cords or cables in an industrial setting is often a convenient, or required, source for electrical power. However, extension cords, even those rated for industrial use, are pieces of equipment and are not a substitute for permanent wiring. See the full JLab Weekly Briefs for tips on how to determine if an extension cord is being used appropriately.
