Was fortunate to ribbon-cut the first Autonomous Lab as part of the Genesis Mission with @SecretaryWright. Scientists should direct autonomous labs to do their lab work 24/7 in our national labs! This is how the US keeps our lead in science - amazing leadership from @ENERGY, @mkratsios47, @ScienceUnderSec, and @sriramk 🇺🇸 Excited to see how the autonomous labs program expands!

[Darío Gil @ScienceUnderSec]

What if we could automate experiments to speed the discovery of new medicines and advanced materials?

The Genesis Mission is making this a reality by building AI-driven labs to help scientists accelerate breakthroughs.
