It was great seeing everyone at our Annual Retreat this year in Asilomar! Shoutout to retreat committee, Victoria and Rocio for making it such a success

[Fay Lin, PhD @xiaofei_lin]

Last week at the Joint UCB-UCSF BioE retreat organized by @BioE_Beast, I had the pleasure of attending an equity, inclusion, and belonging workshop led by the amazing @ChrissyStachl, Founder & CEO of @ReflectEquity.

This is an especially needed conversation in #academia.

Thank you @NIGMS @NIH and the entire @BioE_Beast community for supporting our dual campus training program!

[Seth Shipman @seth_shipman]

We're excited about the future of retrons as a platform biotechnology. This work was co-led by two @BioE_Beast graduate students, Santi Lopez, who took on the yeast experiments, and Kate Crawford, who handled the human cells, with a big assist from @BhattaraiKline.

[PD Soros Fellowships @PDSoros]

Meet 2021 PDSoros Fellow, @sitaritapita! Sita is in the UCSF-UCB joint bioengineering PhD program (@BioE_Beast) and researches in the lab of @pdhsu, which has been working to develop a fast and scalable #covid19 diagnostic.

Mind blown: every single dot in this photo is a cell. 🤯

In their forthcoming JoVE video, @UCBerkeley + @UCSF researchers use DNA as “velcro” to stick cells onto surfaces, allowing them to pattern cells in any configuration.

Here's @katie_cabral_ demonstrating their method!
