Galvin Receives Prestigious Vannevar Bush Award Robert W. Galvin, the retired president and CEO of Motorola Inc. and vice chairman of the URA Board of Trustees, will receive the 2005 Vannevar Bush Award for lifetime contributions to the nation in science and technology. The National Science Board, the 24-member policy-making body of the National Science
Each year, the Vannevar Bush Award honors "an individual who, through public service activities in science and technology, has made an outstanding contribution toward the welfare of mankind and the nation." Hans Bethe, Norman Ramsey, Harold Varmus and former URA President Guy Stever are some of the distinguished citizens that have received the award in the last 25 years. "I am delighted," said Fred Bernthal, President of URA. "I know that the Trustees join me in congratulating Bob on this richly deserved recognition
Galvin excelled both during his 60-year association with Motorola Inc. and as a member of several national panels, including advisory panels for the Department of Energy and the National Science Foundation. In 1991, he was elected to the URA Board of Trustees. He became the vice chairman of the Board in 1993, a position he currently holds.
"The URA Board of Trustees benefits from his experience as an industry executive,
and from the shared wisdom of his decades of public service in the area of U.S.
science and technology policy," said URA Vice President Ezra Heitowit.
Galvin will receive the award at a dinner ceremony at the Department of State
on May 25.

Do you know a student who would like to be a physicist? Starting today,
Quantum Diaries is hosting an online Career Week. Students can submit
such questions as:
What is it like to be a physicist? What do physicists work on? How can I become one? Physicists from universities and laboratories around the world will be on hand to answer students' questions about what it takes to become one of them during Quantum Diaries: Career Week Online. Students can submit questions at Quantum Diaries from Monday, May 23, to Friday, May 27, and a Quantum Diarist will respond.
For further information, contact

Parking Lot Survival | ||
| ||
|
Did you know that one of the likeliest places to be involved in a fender bender accident is in a parking lot? People seem to have their minds on everything but driving. Some consider the traffic signs as optional, while others ignore traffic lanes to cut diagonally across the lot. Pedestrians are especially at risk since most lots do not have separate walkways; people must walk in the traffic lanes, often with small children in tow.
Of the 320 vehicle accidents investigated by Fermilab's Security Department since 1998, 136 involved backing, usually in a parking lot. Some people are unfamiliar with the layout of our one-way lanes and can wind up going in the wrong direction. This can easily lead to a situation where others backing out of parking spaces get struck when they do not check for wrong-way traffic.
The best way to protect yourself in a parking lot is to be aware of everything moving in all directions around your vehicle. Watch for vehicles that might be cutting diagonally across the lot and drive slowly. If you find a space away from the building where fewer cars are parked, you stand to benefit in several ways:
Have a great day and let's work safely all week!
