Asian American and Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander Heritage Month is the perfect time to celebrate the accomplishments of a diverse and talented UC community. Take the quiz to learn about some notable #AAPI leaders bit.ly/4aQpdoG

Eat your broccoli: it's even better for you.

New research from ShihLab in ACS Synthetic Bio shows that it's possible to engineer cruciferous vegetables so that enzymes responsible for health-relevant compounds don't break down when cooking: ow.ly/etLu50RpFBw Berkeley Plant & Microbial Biology

This is truly amazing, i am beyond grateful to Ecological Society --my science 'home' for nearly 30yrs. I'm so lucky to do #teamscience with incredible technical staff, postdocs & students Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory UC Merced & Innovative Genomics Institute. And esp L. Hennessy --who holds life together in so many ways

Congrats to IGI Investigator Dr. Jennifer Pett-Ridge and the other 2024 Fellows! 🎉

A promising mentorship program to support STEM students with disabilities! #InclusiveSTEM

IGI Investigator Moises (Moi) Exposito-Alonso was been given the 2024 Princess of Girona Award for his work on the evolution of species to climate change. ¡Enhorabuena!

It was a real adventure working on this over the last few years, I'm really happy for it to be out. There's so much we can do now from measuring/engineering CO2/O2 specificity, catalytic rate or even plant rubiscos!

Congratulations Venkatesan Sundaresan of UC Davis, newly inducted #NASmember ! #NAS161 #plantbiology #genomics

Science is beautiful!
