Currently in its ninth year of operation, JBEI has made remarkable scientific progress toward the development of renewable bioenergy solutions. Fundamental to JBEI’s mission is also its commitment to preparing the next generation of scientists, promoting the benefits of biofuels and expanding broad interest in science. In light of this commitment, JBEI has debuted nine short videos in a series entitled “Bioenergy Research @ JBEI”. To watch the videos visit JBEI’s YouTube channel.
Biosciences Researchers Participate in Lab-Corps Program Training
The Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy’s Lab-Corps program has announced a second round of training for entrepreneurial teams at the national labs. Lab-Corps aims to accelerate the transfer of clean energy technologies from the national labs to the marketplace by training and empowering national lab researchers to successfully transition their discoveries into high-impact, real world technologies in the private sector. The training which involves 14 project teams from seven DOE national labs began this week in Golden, Colorado. The rigorous seven-week training follows the path of a typical start-up accelerator.
ESOC Celebrates Women’s History Month
Women’s History Month is an annual declared month, celebrated in March that highlights the contributions of women to events in history and contemporary society. The 2016 theme honors women who have shaped America’s history and its future through their public service and government leadership. LBL’s Biosciences Emery Station Operations Center (ESOC) is celebrating the occasion with a number of activities for its staff and local students.
JBEI’s Inventory of Composable Elements (ICE) Tutorial Now Available
The public can learn how to use this free DNA/strains/seeds repository
JBEI’s Inventory of Composable Elements (ICE) is a cloud-based freely open-source DNA part, plasmid, microbial strain, and Arabidopsis seed repository with physical sample tracking capabilities. It includes features such as DNA sequence editing and annotation, auto-aligning sequencing trace files against reference templates, SBOL XML/RDF support, and web-of-registries functionality. An ICE tutorial by Nathan Hillson, JBEI’s Director of Synthetic Biology Informatics is now available online. Read more on the JBEI website.
Celebrating Biosciences Women in Science and Public Service
March is Women’s History Month, a time to recognize and celebrate the diverse and historic accomplishments of women. The theme for 2016 is to honor women who have shaped America’s history and its future through their public service and government leadership. In honor or Women’s History Month Berkeley Lab has profiled Facilities Division Director Reva Nickelson, as well as two Biosciences women, Shiela Dixson and Lauren Lui:
Shiela Dixson, a financial analyst matrixed to the Biosciences University/Hill Operations, who left the Lab March 15 for a new position at Livermore, talks about achieving her life goals of obtaining her MBA and creating a nonprofit for mentoring underprivileged girls.
Lauren Lui, a postdoctoral fellow in Adam Arkin’s bioengineering lab, has been at the Lab for only 5 months but has already taken on the role of secretary with the Lab’s Women Scientists and Engineers Council. As a postdoc, she says, having a good mentor is key to a female scientist’s career.
Read their inspiring stories on the Diversity & Inclusion at Berkeley Lab website.
