Phage Foundry lead @vivekmutalik.bsky.social was mentioned in a Q&A by Aeron Hammack of the @molecularfoundry.lbl.gov. Phages are bacterial antagonists useful in medicine; Phage Foundry is making a database of them. Mutalik’s team saves researchers resources by bypassing a demanding research phase.

At Berkeley Lab, we share our main campus with a plethora of critters—snakes, turkeys, deer, and bobcats, to name a few. But we don't have baby bison like @fermilab.bsky.social does! Enjoy a few pics courtesy of our fellow national lab colleagues for #WildlifeWednesday.
Quantum tech is growing, but the industry faces a critical shortage of trained scientists and engineers. Berkeley Lab’s A-LIFT Office and Sandia National Laboratories are bridging this gap through the QCaMP program!

Out today in Nature, new research from Jennifer Doudna, postdoc @jingkunzeng.bsky.social, and collaborators shows a #CRISPR-based method for selectively killing "undruggable" #cancers by recognizing cells with cancer-causing mutations and shredding their DNA. Learn more: https://ow.ly/NRss50Z8tQK

How can quantum-related phenomena exist in the "warm, wet, and noisy" environments of living systems? A new @pnas.org perspective from @princeton.edu's Gregory Scholes and #BioMBIB’s Graham Fleming lays out where the field of quantum biology stands — and where it's going next.
Nuclear medicine got it's start in what would become the Biosciences Area at @berkeleylab.lbl.gov. The field is now undergoing a massive evolution. Hear about the shift from traditional beta-emitting isotopes to the high-energy power of alpha emitters. 🎧 https://youtu.be/xHwxfi71RCE
