Safety culture leads to better safety,

despite record construction years

Recordable injury rates continue solid declines despite >10% reduction

of operations budget and simultaneous large capital construction

projects at Berkeley Lab

Safer employees are more

productive and healthier.

(Side benefit: fewer days

away from work lowers cost.)

Fewer injuries even during period of much construction

Berkeley Lab continues to impact technology and policy

California must adopt

aggressive climate-change

policies, report says

California will fall short of its goal to

slash greenhouse gas emissions by

midcentury unless it adopts aggressive

policies to fight climate change, a new

report says.

The state is still on track to cut emissions

of carbon dioxide and other heat-trapping

gases to 1990 levels by 2020, according to

a report released Monday by the U.S.

Department of Energy's Lawrence

Berkeley National Laboratory.

Implicit bias is very real, even in the scientific community

• Faculty participants:

• rated the male applicant as

significantly more competent and

hirable than the (identical) female

applicant.

• selected a higher starting salary

($4k/year average)

• offered more career mentoring to the

male applicant.

• Female and male faculty were equally likely

to exhibit bias against the female student.

• Analyses indicated that the female student

was less likely to be hired because she was

viewed as less competent.

In a randomized double-blind study, science faculty from research-intensive universities rated

the application materials of a student—who was randomly assigned either a male or female

name—for a laboratory manager position. Test yourself!
