Curious about who's playing who in next week's 'Oppenheimer' release? Here's our Lab founder and Nobelist Ernest O. Lawrence in the late 1930s and at right, Josh Hartnett, who plays him in the movie 🎬. See more via @SFGate ⬇️ #Hollywood #Science sfgate.com/sf-culture/art…

… and that makes three #NobelPrize wins this decade! 2020 - 🏅Jennifer Doudna (Chemistry) 2022 - 🏅 John Clauser (Physics) 2022 - 🏅 @CarolynBertozzi (Chemistry) #BringingScienceSolutionsToTheWorld @doudna_lab @molecularfndry @igisci @UCBerkeley @UCB_Chemistry #WomenInSTEM

Remarkable year for @BerkeleyLab ! How often do two former scientists from one lab win Nobel Prizes in two different areas in the SAME YEAR?!? More: 1) newscenter.lbl.gov/2022/10/04/joh… -- 2) newscenter.lbl.gov/2022/10/05/car… CC: @CarolynBertozzi @UCB_Chemistry @molecularfndry @advlightsource

I have so many questions, starting with what series of adult decisions led to young children playing chess with robots? apple.news/A85ALff40QO6lo…

For the first time, our African American ERG and Gov't & Community Relations Office jointly participated in the 35th @CityofBerkeley #Juneteenth Festival. Thanks to all who volunteered for the event! Check out service.lbl.gov to learn about other #volunteer opportunities.

Fear not, the organism isn't dangerous and can't cause disease in humans. But do marvel at its proportions. "Our Thiomargarita stores several orders of magnitude more DNA in itself as compared to a human cell," - @twoyke, @BerkeleyLab's @jgi #GiantBacteria bbc.com/news/science-e…


How do we know climate models predict change? Learn more in this new podcast episode.

With great science comes great responsibility. Check out the newest episode of our A Day in the Half-Life podcast! Join us at 12:30p PT for a LIVE Twitter chat/Q&A with the star scientists of this new episode, @jennholm1 and Michael Wehner (@LBNLcs) 🎧 👇🏽 buzzsprout.com/1434640/104762…



We lost another friend this weekend to a single black market opioid pill. We need to be talking about fentanyl with everyone in our lives, including those we might not know are using, for pain or other reasons. Please watch and share: youtu.be/iJgPmrLjkuo via @YouTube

Luis Alvarez received the 1968 physics prize for research on elementary particle physics. But did you know he and his geologist son, Walter, published the theory that the dinosaurs became extinct after an asteroid collided with Earth 65 million years ago?

In an experiment recently launched to the @Space_Station, scientists at @BerkeleyLab are exploring the ability of cyanobacteria, or blue-green algae, to store & protect DNA from damage as it travels to space. #SyntheticCryptobiology Details: bit.ly/3qMdkMa

This is thoughtful, and spot on.

Only one #COVID19 antibody treatment given FDA authorization works against the newest variant, #Omicron, and it's the "Inescapable" one created with help by researchers at @LBNLBioSci and the @AdvLightSource here at Berkeley Lab! #teamscience #BringingScienceSolutionsToTheWorld

Nice try #omicron, this treatment is still "inescapable"! New data shows that sotrovimab, the #antibody treatment I wrote about earlier this year, is now the ONLY available antibody therapy effective against #OmicronVariant #GetVaccinated #COVID19 nytimes.com/2021/12/21/hea…
