@SecGranholm @BerkeleyLab Thanks for sharing my story on this amazing work led by @jaykeasling

[Aliyah Kovner @aliyahkovner]

Thanks for sharing our work! @SecGranholm @doescience

My latest work for Berkeley Lab describes an awesome advance in biology-based manufacturing of important #medicines 🦠

Vinblastine is one of the most commonly used #chemotherapies in the world, but supplies are often too low to meet demand. Now, thanks to a #SyntheticBiology breakthrough, there will be a steady source. @DTUBiosustain @LBNLBioSci #biomanufacturing

A new biofuel made by bacteria could power rockets! Check out the story of how a molecule that looks like a jaw full of pointy teeth inspired the creation of super-powered, sustainable fuels that leave petroleum in the dust.

The planet’s getting hotter, #fact. 🔥🌎
But climate scientists often find themselves in the hot seat when they talk about it. Learn more about a day in the life of a climate modeler in our latest #podcast episode.

A new X-ray crystallography technique reveals why some silver-based metal-organic materials glow bright blue under UV light, a phenomenon that the scientists affectionately compare to Frodo’s orc-detecting sword ⚔️ from LOTR. @LBNLBiosci @UConn @SLAClab

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
