The Lambda Alliance is hosting this event in partnership with its Employee Resource Group (ERG), Biosciences Area, and the Lab Directorate. The ERG’s Executive Sponsor, Associate Lab Director Jay Keasling, will provide a welcome message, followed by an introduction to the Lambda Alliance by co-chairs Tom Gallant and Amanda Krieger. Guests will have an opportunity to learn more about Berkeley Lab’s first Workplace Gender Transition Guidelines for transgender employees, the ERG’s upcoming events and activities, as well as an informal “meet-and-greet” with members of the Lab community.
