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.
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!

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.

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
This scientist Q&A discusses how nanofabrication is the secret sauce behind building better quantum materials, viral antibiotic therapies, and chip-based sensors for futuristic health diagnostics
