Newest Hero Card raffle winner Michael Connolly, Principal Scientific Engineering Associate in the Materials Science Division, is a super hero when it comes to spreading safety culture to the diverse users that conduct work at the Molecular Foundry. “At Berkeley Lab we emphasize safety – which may be a new perspective for some visiting researchers – so our staff makes every effort to convey the safe work practices that have evolved as the science grows,” he observed when asked about the Foundry’s safety culture. He noted that its strength is rooted in a comprehensive onboarding process, a highly interactive communication culture, and an emphasis on learning how to do things better. “It’s an ongoing team effort where we strive to keep all lines of communication open – that’s essential in a dynamic research environment with so many new users passing through,” he said.
