As in previous years, the 2025 EBSS will include a poster session, offering participants the opportunity to present their current research to fellow attendees, as well as to the EBSS Directors and Instructors.
The session will take place on Tuesday evening at 7:15 PM at the Clark Kerr Campus, following dinner. It will take place at the Garden Room, just by the Dinning hall. Some posters will be set up at an outdoor space, make sure you are prepared for the weather.
Posters should not exceed 47” x 47” in size. You are free to use any orientation that fits within these dimensions.
Mounting hardware will be provided, and prizes will be awarded for the top posters!

On Wednesday's program, the students will have a chance to have guided visit through the Advanced Light Source.
This activity is optional, and the tour can accommodate up to 50 people. For those interested, we will leave together from the lecture room at 12:50 PM.
For safety reasons, anyone on the ALS experimental floor must wear long pants (or equivalent) and closed-toe shoes. We recommend comfortable walking shoes.
The typical tour route includes walking up and down a flight of stairs and being near a strong magnetic field exceeding 5 Gauss (not a problem for credit cards but can be one for someone with a pacemaker). If this is an issue for one or more participants or there are other accessibility challenges, please let us know in advance.
B88 staff meet Thursdays for beach volleyball at CKC courts. They invite you all for this week’s match!
Meet at the sand courts after dinner.
Our school’s banquet will be held on Friday evening and will feature a keynote lecture titled 'Trends and Directions in Nuclear Science' by Dr. Reiner Kruecken, Director of the Nuclear Science Division at LBNL.
Location: Jupiter Pizza in Downtown Berkeley (Stratosphere Room, upstairs) - In front of Downtown Berkeley BART station and Blue Route stop.
Shuttle departs from B88 at 6 PM, banquet starts at 6:15 PM. Event ends at 9 PM. Shuttles back to CKC and LBNL Guesthouse depart at 9 PM and 9:30 PM.
