SLAC Welcomes New Communications DirectorTogether with the start of the New Year, today SLAC welcomes a new director for the Office of Communications. Farnaz Khadem brings to the lab more than a decade of experience directing scientific communications efforts, primarily in the life sciences. She will lead development of SLAC communications strategy for both internal needs and external audiences, from the Department of Energy to the science-curious public. "We're really excited to have someone with Farnaz's strategic vision join the laboratory and Operations Directorate senior management team," said Chief Operating Officer Alexander Merola. "She will help facilitate communication across the SLAC directorates, keeping all of us more well informed. Further, she well help us clearly define our external audiences and the messaging about the great science happening here." "I'd also like to thank Mark Reichanadter for serving as acting communications director over the past several months," Merola said.

SSRL Looks to Future, Modifies Organizational StructureOn December 8, Stanford Synchrtoron Radiation Lightsource Director Chi-Chang Kao announced a slightly modified organizational structure for the SSRL Directorate at SLAC. The changes include removing the X-ray Research and Facilities Division and bringing the areas of research that were previously overseen by this division higher in the organization to become their own divisions. These new divisions are: the Materials Sciences, Chemistry and Catalysis, Structural Molecular Biology, Structural Genomics and Beam Line Systems divisions. The changes, Kao said, will increase the visibility of these research programs, bring up new leaders within the organization, and position SSRL to achieve the growth outlined in the SLAC agenda.
