Discover how colleagues across Berkeley Lab are using AI to solve problems, save time, and improve their everyday work. This webinar will highlight real-world success stories from across the Lab, offering practical examples, lessons learned, and inspiration for applying AI to your own projects, whether you work in research, operations, administration, or another area.
With so many AI tools available at Berkeley Lab, how do you know which one to use? This webinar will explore tools such as Gemini, CBorg, ChatGPT, and more, highlighting their unique strengths and the tasks they handle best. Attendees will learn how to choose the right tool for writing, research, data analysis, coding, brainstorming, and other everyday work—while using AI safely and responsibly at the Lab.
Learn how Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Google Cloud Platform (GCP) support research and cloud-based projects at Berkeley Lab. In this webinar, the ScienceIT team will highlight available cloud services, share examples of how Lab teams are using them, and explain how to get started. Attendees will also learn about resources and support available to help plan, launch, and manage cloud projects effectively.
Attackers are leveraging AI to discover software vulnerabilities, automate exploit creation, and accelerate incident cycles faster than ever before. From developer tools like GitLab to our own Macs, aggressive new exploits mean we can no longer afford to delay updates and need to take new actions. This discuses the reality of this AI driven threat landscape, what central security is doing, and the critical habits everyone must adopt to protect Berkeley Lab.
Meetings are a regular part of our work at the Lab, and new tools are available to make them even more productive. In this session, we’ll share the latest tips and updates for Zoom and Google Meet available at the Lab.
Canva is back at the Lab! To help people use it to its best ability, we’re going to discuss its use as a productivity tool and new templates to save you time and make your projects aligned with the Lab brand.
Discover the latest updates to CBorg, Berkeley Lab’s secure AI platform designed to support the specific needs of Berkeley Lab researchers and scientists. This session will highlight new features, tools, and improvements as well as demonstrations and share resources to help you get the most from the platform.

Gemini is the AI tool that turns Google Workspace up to 11, because it was built for Google Workspace. In this session we’re going to break down several different ways to harness the power of Gemini across Google Chat, Gmail, Calendar, and more.
Google Sheets has evolved far beyond basic tabular logging into an enterprise-grade power tool. In this fast-paced 25-minute showcase, you will discover the latest additions to the platform—from dynamic Smart Canvas chips and AI-driven data extraction to native modern functions. Learn how these modern tools eliminate repetitive manual work, streamline collaboration, and match Excel’s data processing power without leaving your browser.
Discover how Kubernetes can help you run and manage applications efficiently and reliably. In this 50-minute session, Berkeley Lab’s ScienceIT team will explain how Kubernetes works, when to use it, and what resources and support are available to help you get started.
Discover how the Lawrencium Supercluster can provide the computing power and resources needed to advance your research. In this 25-minute session, Berkeley Lab’s ScienceIT team will explain how to get started and highlight the support available to help your projects succeed.
Adam's lunchtime keynote is a LabTech tradition, with highlights of everything new, interesting, and useful from the past year, and a view of what's to come. Get ready for fun demos and insights into the latest AI tools out there.
This security-awareness session is designed for everyone who writes code at the Lab, from novices leveraging AI to seasoned developers.
Cyber security is at the front of everyone's mind right now and with good reason! Learn about the Secure Research and Data Compute Platform (SRDC) at Berkeley Lab, a state-of-the-art infrastructure designed to support secure and efficient data analysis and computation for scientific research. In this essential seminar, discover how SRDC enables researchers to access and process sensitive data while maintaining strict security protocols and compliance standards.
Join us for an informative seminar on the latest developments and innovations in ScienceIT at Berkeley Lab. Discover how cutting-edge technology is being used to advance scientific research and explore the future of data-driven discovery.
