WASHINGTON — U.S. Naval Research Laboratory research scientists Dr. Linda Thomas, Dr. Thomas J. Walls and research engineer Joshua Nelson, received the prestigious Dr. Delores M. Etter Top Scientists and Engineers of the Year Award during a ceremony held at the Pentagon June 29.

One of the U. S. Naval Research Laboratory's primary missions is to discover the needs of the Fleet and what technologies can be created to meet them. To obtain this goal, the laboratory bridges the gap between the researchers on shore and our Sailors and Marines in the field through our military deputies.

The world of science is a lesson in progress, following an invention from a simple idea to an applied device that can be used to solve every day problems. While the process to create a technology is long and arduous, once a product is made there must be someone there to make sure the technology is transferred to the field.

WASHINGTON — Just in time for Earth Day 2018, the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory Chesapeake Bay Detachment (CBD), located on the Chesapeake’s west bank, has finalized an extensive five-year initiative to stabilize, beautify and establish an ecological and nature friendly environment along the shores of one of Maryland’s greatest natural resources.
