Happy Halloween from JCVI! Our scientist superheroes are putting on their capes for this year’s #GivingTuesday. Join our Scientist Justice League to help take the bite out of oral cancer. @drmfreire https://t.co/bNq9xygDzm

[J. Craig Venter Institute @JCVenterInst]

With funding from the National Institutes of Health (@NIH), @JCVenterInst scientists generated multiple Zika virus genomes in order to sequence-verify the reagents for researchers. https://t.co/KlhtuPddEp

There are 450,000 new diagnoses of oral cancer yearly. 60% of new cases are diagnosed in later stages when the cancer is metastatic, making it difficult to treat. This @GivingTues help @JCVenterInst scientists take the bite out of oral cancer https://t.co/bNq9xygDzm

Some strains of enterovirus D68 from recent outbreaks are able to replicate in human neuronal cells. We believe that these strains may be a cause of AFM (a form of paralysis) outbreaks in kids in 2014, 2016 and 2018! See this ASM write up on our paper!

Huge shout out to LXS Scientists DR. @lzeiglerallen from @JCVenterInst for bringing science to the kids of First Lego League (FLL) Robotics teams (6th graders from Longfellow & Roosevelt). They are working on this year’s challenge: the affects on the human body being in space.

[J. Craig Venter Institute @JCVenterInst]

Happy birthday to our founder and CEO @JCVenter! Here’s to many more years filled with genomic discoveries.

[J. Craig Venter Institute @JCVenterInst]

Ever wonder what happens to the human microbiome during extended periods in space? JCVI investigator Dr. Lorenzi is looking at just this to help solve the challenge of extended space flight. https://t.co/RVtpznrCug

[Banting Discovery Foundation @BantingResearch]

What a beautiful painting by #Banting depicting his #lab and its organized chaos. Anyone's lab space currently look like this?

1st day distributing dinoflagellates & red algae grow kits to schools.

We taught a quick lesson that touches on #bioluminescent #CarbonCycle #Climate-change #Circadian-rhythm #phytoplankton

Thank you @JCVenterInst & @Scripps_Ocean helping to make these free to schools.

[DC Public Schools @dcpublicschools]

Engineering design challenges help students at @HendleyES develop critical thinking and teamwork skills through joyful learning opportunities with a focus on #STEMeducation.
