Communications

The Biosciences Communications team collaborates with staff to: 

• Promote the Area and raise its profile; 

• Communicate staff’s scientific discoveries and innovations; 

• Share Biosciences-related information of interest, both externally and internally; and 

• Create communications synergies with internal and external partners. 

A subset of this larger group, the Biosciences Operations at Berkeley BSBK Communications team consists of Biosciences Lead Communications Coordinator Lida Gifford; Greta Lorge, science writer/editor; and Ashleigh Papp, & Maritte O'Gallagher, communications specialists.

The objectives of the team are outlined on the Biosciences Area web page “How to Work with the Biosciences Communications Team" (LDAP required). There, a set of guidelines is laid out to inform people in the Area about how they can collaborate with the team.

News Monitors

We curate the content for news monitors in the BSBK Operations Center, which are located in BioEPIC, Building 33, and Potter Street. The television monitors are regularly updated with highlight slides covering groups in the buildings, events, and other items of interest. To contribute content to any of the monitors, please submit this Google form.  Email Maritte O'Gallagher [mailto:MOGallagher@lbl.gov] with questions.

• BioEPIC (Bldg. 92) has staff from both the Biosciences and Earth and Environmental Sciences Areas (monitors on floors 1 – 4).

• Building 33 is home to people in the Biosciences, Energy Sciences, and Energy Technologies Areas (monitors on floors 1 & 2). 

• Potter Street (aka Aquatic Park) occupants are in the Biosciences Area and Cyclotron Road (lobby monitor).
