Witherell to Become UCSB Vice-Chancellor for Research July 1, 2005 | ||
| ||
|
The University of California, Santa Barbara will announce today the appointment of Fermilab Director
Michael Witherell as vice chancellor for research, beginning July 1, 2005. A former member of the UCSB
faculty, Witherell also will hold a faculty position in the Department of Physics.
"Santa Barbara will make the appointment public today," Witherell said, "but I wanted the Fermilab community to learn about it from me first." Witherell's appointment as vice chancellor is effective pending approval by UC President Robert Dynes and the UC Board of Regents. The appointment is the culmination of an extensive national search and recruitment process. Witherell noted that his new position at UCSB is still a year away.
Witherell's wife, Elizabeth, has also accepted an appointment to the UCSB faculty. |

From U.S. Newswire, July 6, 2004 U.S. Department of Energy to Announce New Science Education Initiative Focusing on Teachers and Students U.S. Secretary of Energy Spencer Abraham will announce on Thursday, July 8, a new initiative launched by the Department of Energy and its national laboratories to promote science education and help prepare the next generation of scientists and engineers.
"It is critical that we leverage the tremendous scientific resources of the Department of Energy, and all
of our national labs, to help create a new generation of scientists who will achieve the scientific
breakthroughs and technological advances that are essential to our future security and prosperity."
From The Sacramento Bee, July 5, 2004 Because of the particulars of his status, Safonov said, he had to leave the country to reapply. Rather than returning to Russia, he hoped to speed the process by applying at the U.S. consulate closest to Chicago, the one in Toronto.
"My three-day trip turned into three months," said Safonov, who was cleared
the following February.

QuarkNet Students and Teachers Take Shifts on CMS | ||
| ||
|
Three high school students and two high school teachers from South Bend, Indiana spent six
hours Wednesday and Thursday on shift in the CMS Remote Control Room on the 11th floor of Wilson
Hall. The students got a chance to look at recent CMS test beam data and participate in meetings
at CERN via the Web.
"By the time the students left yesterday, they were beginning to understand how to identify pion, muon and electron signatures in the calorimeter data," said teacher Lynda Rose during Thursday's shift. "We had some technical difficulties, but we got through it," added high school student Robert Plasschaert. The teachers and students are spending the summer at the Notre Dame QuarkNet Center, conducting research on CMS test beam calibration data and working to make data from CMS and cosmic ray detectors at Notre Dame and high schools around the country available on the data grid.
"The goal of the project is to make particle physics data available to high school students and teachers
all over the country," said Patrick Mooney, a high school physics teacher and faculty member at the University
of Notre Dame.

July 2 - July 5 - During this 72-hour period Operations established 3 stores that provided the experiments with approximately 57 hours and 44 minutes of luminosity. - Recycler stashes antiprotons after every store. - The TeV suffers D0 quench. - The TeV loses power to E0 service building due to compressor trip. - A Linac RF station (LRF5) has a water pump problem.
