Inspiring and educating the scientists of tomorrow is a key part of Nuclear Science’s mission. We host undergraduate interns each year and have mentored numerous graduate students. Among their wide variety of impressive futures, many have joined the ranks of our postdoctoral researchers and some have gone on to Berkeley Lab staff positions. We also engage in outreach to the general public, most notably by hosting the annual Nuclear Science Day for Scouts.

Nuclear Wall Chart
This poster chart covers many items of nuclear physics. Great for classrooms.
Contemporary Physics Education Project
CPEP offers beautifully illustrated charts that present the current understanding of physics in areas ranging from quarks to the cosmos, incorporating recent discoveries such as the Higgs boson and gravitational waves.
Marie Curie and the Science of Radioactivity
Marie Sklodowska Curie discovered the mysterious element radium. It opened the door to deep changes in the way scientists think about matter and energy. She also led the way to a new era for medical knowledge and the treatment of diseases.
The Particle Adventure
