Ernest Orlando Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory
Welcome to Berkeley Lab's Public Affairs Department which is managed by Acting Department Head Don Medley. It is the mission of this office to lead an integrated Laboratory-wide program of communications, government and community relations, science education and creative services. Our goal is to strengthen the understanding of science and research activities among the diverse audiences of the Laboratory; advance the Laboratory's scientific development through partnerships with the divisions; make Berkeley Lab a valued partner in the community, region and nation; and provide high-quality, cost-effective creative services to the Laboratory.

Berkeley Lab's Public Affairs is organized into four groups:
