The UEC was established to represent and serve all members of The Molecular Foundry’s User community, including current and prospective users. Their goals are to provide a channel of communication between TMF users and management; to represent Foundry users when the Department of Energy solicits feedback from members of its National User Facilities. The UEC is responsible for many events and encourages any user to participate or become a committee memeber:
From the Berkeley Lab website for diversity and inclusion:
Berkeley Lab has a tradition of multidisciplinary teams working together to bring science solutions to the world. Fostering a diverse workforce—in experience, perspective and background—and culture of inclusion are key to attracting and engaging the brightest minds and furthering our record of scientific excellence and groundbreaking innovations.
At the Molecular Foundry we follow in Berkeley Lab's tradition of collaboration and inclusiveness. The Foundry has a its own Diversity and Inclusion committee to foster an open work environment. You can send your suggestions, questions, comments, and concerns to all members of the D&I committee using the following email address: mf-di@lbl.gov.
