From page 4...
... In energy research, particularly in biologic and environmental research, we are leading this evolution in science. Fifty years ago, 25 years ago, and today we have been exploring the connections between the biologic sciences, the physical sciences, engineering, and computation in ways that bring together institutions, disciplines, and researchers.

... HISTORICAL BACKGROUND My colleagues Benjamin Barnhart and Murray Schulman have dug into the archives of our office in the DOE to distill some history. Kenneth Shine spoke earlier about the history of the BER program, starting during World War II when a medical advisory committee under Stafford Warren developed health and safety policy and associated research activities for the Manhattan Project.

... We are committed to pushing and promoting that kind of cooperation because we believe strongly that the science of the future will be interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary and will require this multiagency and multiorganizational approach to developing and promoting successful activities. I end by reminding you that a Biological and Environmental Research program like ours a diverse research portfolio drives science at the interface where most of scientific advances will occur.
