At Argonne, discovery doesn’t happen in isolation. It relies on the expertise of people who protect, enable, and support the lab’s researchers every day.
#HowISupportScience is a series spotlighting members of Argonne’s Environmental, Safety, and Health directorate — dedicated individuals whose work ensures that innovation can move forward without compromising the well-being of people, the environment, or our mission.
From managing radiation safety and monitoring air quality, to reducing workplace strain and ensuring environmental protections, these professionals make it possible for Argonne’s scientists and engineers to focus on what they do best: pushing the boundaries of knowledge.
In this edition, meet Gene Schafer and learn how he supports Argonne science.
