Stakeholder Relations
We take great pride in being part of the Long Island community. We value the relationships that
we build together with our neighbors—relationships built by listening and speaking openly about the issues we all
care about. We know that the Laboratory's future as a world leader in science research depends on the trust and participation
of our neighbors.
Listening to You
The Community Advisory Council advises the Laboratory Director on issues that are important to the community. All meetings are open to the public. Learn more about the Council. Do you have an issue you'd like to raise, a question that you'd like to ask? Let us know!
About Us
Brookhaven scientists conduct research in the physical, biomedical, and environmental sciences, and in energy technology and national security. The Laboratory is among the five largest high-technology employers on Long Island. More...
Economic Impact
At a time when New York's state economy depends on its capacity for
innovation, Brookhaven Lab represents a uniquely valuable resource —
both as a major science-based enterprise in its own right, and as a
source of the scientific discovery and technological innovation on which
growth depends.

BSA Distinguished Lecture
"The Warped Universe - The One Hundred Year Quest to discover Einstein's gravitational waves"
Presented by Dr. Nergis Mavalvala, Marble Prof. of Astrophysics, MIT
4 pm, Berkner Hall Auditorium
Wednesday, October 11, 2017, 4:00 pm
Hosted by: ''Peter Wanderer''
In 2016, scientists announced the first ever detection of gravitational waves from colliding black holes, launching a new era of gravitational wave astrophysics. Since then there have been a couple more detections. Gravitational waves were predicted by Einstein a hundred years earlier. I will describe the science, technology, and human story behind these discoveries that provide a window into some of the most violent and warped events in the Universe.
