Dylan Chivian posing in front of a colorful mural.

Dylan Chivian’s upbringing motivated him to help humanity and the natural world. Now a microbial scientist and coding engineer with the Department of Energy Systems Biology Knowledgebase (KBase), he’s building software tools that aim to share microbial genomic information and promote collaboration across the broader scientific community.

Anthony Rozales, Beamline Runner

March 22, 2023

For Anthony Rozales, his shift overseeing the protein crystallography beamlines begins before the sun rises. While some might find the early mornings grueling, for him it’s ideal. Most days, after his shift ends and he makes it home, Rozales usually turns right around and leaves again, this time on foot.

Cerise Bennett, Cell Culture Crafter

January 18, 2023

According to Bennett, needlecraft has been an excellent introduction to understanding and following lab protocols. Now a research associate in the Biological Systems and Engineering Division, Bennett continues to work and play in the overlapping space between science and art. “I’m constantly surprised by how much creativity is needed in the lab,” she said.

Dalicia Thomasson, Pivoting Planner

November 16, 2022

For Thomasson, a creative outlet helps her feel connected with the natural world while also restoring her calm disposition. In her position at Berkeley Lab, Thomasson supports the BSE Division Director and each day is filled with new challenges and surprises. Keeping a level head and an optimistic attitude are key to her success. “In our role, we just have to stay calm,” Thomasson said. “Things change and you have to adapt.” 

Berkeley Kauffman, Helix Surfer

September 27, 2022

A longtime fishing and surfing enthusiast, Berkeley Kauffman pursued his love for marine science in school and later embarked on a path in biochemistry. Now, Kauffman works on the JGI’s Micro-scale Applications group, helping their international users learn more about which microbial species are present and active in their environmental samples.
