Join Our Next Lab All-Hands Meeting
Tuesday, April 2 from 10 – 11 a.m. CT
Building 402 Auditorium or via Vimeo
Our next Lab All-Hands Meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, April 2 from 10 to 11 a.m. CT. During the meeting, Sean Jones, deputy laboratory director for science and chief research officer, and Rae Sharp-Geiger, deputy laboratory director for operations and chief operations officer, will join Laboratory Director Paul Kearns to talk about science and operations updates from across the laboratory.
We’ll take a deep dive into microelectronics research including the program’s strategic goals as well as projects that grew out of the Laboratory Directed Research and Development program. To kick off Earth Month, we’ll take a closer look at sustainability research and development at Argonne, as well as sustainability programs on the Lemont campus.
AET speakers presenting at the meeting include:
-
Seth Darling, AET chief science and technology officer, who will be discussing the lab’s work at the energy-water nexus.
- Sungjoon Kim, AMD postdoctoral appointee, who will be presenting work on atomic layer deposition for microelectronics.
You can join the meeting in several ways:
- In person in the Building 402 Auditorium (with American Sign Language interpretation)
- Via livestream on your computer or mobile phone (with optional captions)
- At one of these satellite viewing locations:
- Building 203 Auditorium
- Building 362 Auditorium
- On one of the video screens in building lobbies across campus

Back by Popular Demand: Postdoc Research Slam
The Postdoc Research Slam is a chance for postdocs and Argonne Scholars to showcase their science communication skills by sharing their research in three minutes or less. The final competition is targeted for the last week of July. Preliminary rounds and coaching for competitors will take place in the May-July timeframe.
Postdocs are encouraged to compete and all staff is invited to attend the final competition and cheer on their colleagues! See highlights from last year’s competition on the Postdoc Program Office MyArgonne page.
New Clean Energy to Communities (C2C) In-Depth Partnerships Proposals Start April 1
The U.S. Department of Energy’s Clean Energy to Communities (C2C) program is preparing to open requests for proposals (RFPs) for its next round of in-depth partnerships starting Monday, April 1.
Partnerships include up to $500,000 in subcontracting funding and $3,500,000 in technical assistance from one or more national laboratories to develop secure, reliable, resilient, equitable, and affordable clean energy systems. Proposals are welcome from communities of all types, and applying teams must consist of at least one local government, a local community-based organization, and an eligible electric utility.
Previously, Argonne has received funding through C2C to assist in efforts to reduce carbon emissions and facilitate the transition to electric transportation.
Proposals are due by June 14. Read the presolicitation notice or visit the in-depth partnerships page for more information.
Last Day to Register for the Carbon Management R&D Workshop
Wednesday, April 3 from 9 a.m. – 2:15 p.m. CT
Updated Location: Building 240, Room 1416
Achieving a net-zero emissions economy by 2050 will require carbon management at the industrial scale, both to reduce annual emissions not yet abated by decarbonization efforts and to address legacy emissions. To promote conversation around this effort, Argonne will host a one-day Carbon Management R&D Workshop on Wednesday, April 3 from 9 a.m. to 2:15 p.m. CT in Building 240, Room 1416.
Through this workshop and subsequent conversations, we will identify promising scientific research directions and strengthen our internal collaboration as we elevate this topic to a major priority for the laboratory.
All interested members of the Argonne community are invited to participate and are asked to register by today, March 27.
