Congratulations to #TeamBioSci's Yumary Vasquez for placing second in yesterday's Bay Area Research SLAM! Berkeley Lab Joint Genome Institute https://lnkd.in/dNgB62HB
Founded in 1931 on the belief that the biggest scientific challenges are best addressed by teams, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and its scientists have been recognized with 16 Nobel Prizes (lbl.gov/people/excellence/nobelists/). Today, Berkeley Lab researchers develop sustainable energy and environmental solutions, create useful new materials, advance the frontiers of computing, and probe the mysteries of life, matter, and the universe. Scientists from around the world rely on the Lab’s facilities for their own discovery science. Berkeley Lab is a multiprogram national laboratory, managed by the University of California for the U.S. Department of Energy’s Office of Science.

Our fellows are out there doing great things...and staying connected! Michelle Devoe, PhD and Matthew Landsman had a chance tricycle encounter at Brookhaven National Laboratory, where Michelle is doing her postdoc in the Geothermal Materials Group after finishing up her time at the ALS. Matt will be starting as an assistant professor of Environmental Engineering at Arizona State University in January 2025. A fellowship at the ALS can be your launchpad, too. The postdoctoral fellowship application is now open through November 1. Looking for a doctoral fellowship? Apply in March 2025! https://lnkd.in/gE3yRbYZ Berkeley Lab, Lightsources.org

It’s not everyday you hear a Nobel Prize winner share tips on “Creating sense in a world of nonsense.” 🤓What a pleasure to have Saul Perlmutter at Berkeley Lab speaking to us and Lab Director Mike Witherell about his latest book: Third Millennium Thinking. 💡One takeaway he had for us: Examine an idea from multiple angles. Practice distancing yourself from a predetermined position as you allow for new information and perspectives. 📸 pictured is Thor Swift

The U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF) has awarded Trusted CI, the NSF Cybersecurity Center of Excellence, a five-year, $6-million per-year award to run through September 2029. Berkeley Lab will now serve as Trusted CI’s central steward. This award will allow Trusted CI to accommodate its rapidly growing community by supporting regulated research, expanding the Trusted CI Framework, and addressing pressing national cybersecurity workforce development needs with NSF’s support. #NSFfunded For more information, check out this press release: https://bit.ly/4dC5v0t
"The crops, conversion processes, and microbes developed at the Lab will reduce emissions, cut our reliance on petroleum, and ultimately lead to a #bioeconomy that works at scale." – Corinne Scown, Director of Technoeconomic Analysis, Joint BioEnergy Institute Learn more ⬇️ https://lnkd.in/gg8mGXmD

"It is pretty clear that no place on earth is immune to #climatechange," says the Lab's Michael Wehner. "The hazards vary from place to place in both type and danger, of course."
