Katie Antypas: What’s in a (Supercomputer) Name?
Whenever we deploy a new supercomputer at NERSC (the National Energy Research Scientific Computing Center), we give that system a name, which is how we refer to the system and also how users remotely log in. At NERSC we’ve always named our supercomputers after famous scientists. Providing high-end supercomputing systems and services to our broad […]
Top Women Scientists from National Labs Share Perspectives With Students
Women scientists make up fewer than 30 percent of the postdocs and fewer than 20 percent of the research scientists and engineers at Berkeley Lab. So what does it take to be a successful female scientist or engineer at a national lab? Five top women scientists from four national laboratories spoke at a panel discussion recently about their path from student to scientist.
