This Lab Is Your Lab - U.S. Department of Energy

Показать описание

We have a holiday treat for you. As we head into July 4, enjoy "This Lab Is Your Lab." A song meant to highlight some of the amazing work being done across the Energy Department's system of 17 National Labs, the crown jewels of science in the United States.

The National Labs tackle the critical scientific challenges of our time and possess unique instruments and facilities, many of which are found nowhere else in the world. Each lab is unique, but they're all connected, and the work they do benefits all Americans.

Happy Fourth of July!

____________________________________________________
This lab is your lab; this lab is my lab
From Lawrence Berkeley to Princeton Plasma
From the Savannah River to the Pacific Northwest
This lab was made for you and me

From West to East Coast, we’re on a mission
Making discoveries to secure the nation
Idaho fission to solar in the Rockies
This lab was made for you and me

With big science come big breakthroughs
Livermore’s lasers; Oak Ridge super computers
Science for the people is what Fermi’s doing
This lab was made for you and me

Sandia’s engineering; NETL’s cutting carbon
Building better batteries right up at Argonne
SLAC's exploring the endless cosmos
This lab was made for you and me

All these breakthroughs keep America churning
Iowa corn fields waving; wind turbines turning
Jefferson’s discoveries keep knowledge burning
This lab was made for you and me

This lab is your lab; this lab is my lab
From the highest desert to a New York island
Advancing research, leading innovation
This lab was made for you and me
