PRACTICAL INFORMATION
Lawrence Berkeley National Lab is easily accessible by public transportation from SFO and OAK international airports. Attendees from foreign countries should check their US entry requirements at travel.state.gov/visa/temp/types/types_1265.html (there are new requirements even for the visa waiver program). Contact the wit2010@lbl.gov if you have questions about your entry requirements.
Winter in the SF bay area is mild, but wet. Steady rain for 3 days non-stop is a possibility. On the other hand, when it is not raining it will be sunny and mild.
