DOE Blog: Lighting that STEM Spark 

Jefferson Lab Director Stuart Henderson authored a blog posted on the DOE website about how we can spark interest in our young people for careers in science, technology, engineering and mathematics. Read the blog post here . 

				
		
		

ACCELERATOR/EXPERIMENTAL NUCLEAR PHYSICS 
The CEBAF Accelerator ran well at the end of the week and over the weekend, delivering continuous wave beam to all four halls for much of the weekend. On Friday afternoon, the accelerator was brought down to repair a failed cooling fan, which allowed controlled access into all of the experimental halls for opportunistic tweaks. Over the weekend, a failed power supply deprived the halls of beam for a few hours, and beam current delivered to Hall C was limited to 45 microamps or less due to instabilities that popped up at higher currents. Following beam studies and radiofrequency (RF) recovery efforts earlier this week, Hall C recovered to a more-appreciated 50 microamps of beam current while running concurrently with Hall A. Accelerator Operations plans to continue beam delivery, per the schedule, over the next week . 

ESH&Q 
Learning How to Be a Safety Leader 
Simply knowing the safety rules, laws and procedures does not make you a safety leader: Your actions do. According to an article on Safeopedia , anyone can learn how to be a safety leader, because safety leaders don’t hold positions, they are people who others want to imitate. Three ways that you can become a safety leader are: changing your view of people toward the positive, changing how you engage in the safety conversation, and showing a willingness to build up the people around you to engender more safety leaders. To learn more about becoming a safety leader, see the link for the full article . 


GENERAL ANNOUNCEMENTS 
Last Chance: Projects for Summer Interns 
Critical to the success of Jefferson Lab's college undergraduate summer internship programs are projects for the students, and mentors who can oversee one or more students as they carry out their work. Staff members interested in providing a project and mentoring are asked to notify Lisa Surles-Law by Feb. 28. For more details and contact information, see the full memo . 

Grad Students: Apply Now for DOE’s SCGSR Program 
The Office of Science Graduate Student Research (SCGSR) program is now accepting applications for the 2018 Solicitation 1. The program supports supplemental awards to outstanding U.S. graduate students to conduct part of their graduate thesis research at a DOE national laboratory/facility. Applications are due by 5 p.m. EDT on Tuesday, May 15. Detailed information about the program, including eligibility requirements and access to the online application system, can be found online . 

Jefferson Lab Architect Reappointed to Commonwealth Board 
Christine Snetter, an architect with Jefferson Lab’s Facilities Management and Logistics department, was recently appointed to a second four-year term on the Virginia Board for Architects, Professional Engineers, Land Surveyors, Certified Interior Designers and Landscape Architects (APELSCIDLA). Snetter was initially appointed to the Board in 2013, and she will be sworn in again this spring for the second term. Read more here . 



ODU Physics Department Plans Open House on March 17 
The Old Dominion University Physics Department will hold an open house for the public on Saturday, March 17, 1-5 p.m. It will feature tours of research labs, planetarium shows, and a variety of hands-on activities and live demonstrations. For more information, see the website . 

Volunteers Sought for FIRST Robotics Competition 
Organizers of the FIRST Robotics Competition to be held March 16-18 in Portsmouth are seeking volunteers to help run the event. See the full announcement here . 

CONTACT 
The JLab Weekly provides information on the status of safety, accelerator operations, experiments, reviews, upcoming activities and special events. Deadline for submission is every Tuesday by 10 a.m. Submit new items to: the Communications Office or contact Kandice Carter at x7263. 

		
PUBLISHED JOURNAL ARTICLES 
Feb. 18-24, 2018
