5/ The first quantum biology hackathon took place.
It brought together people from different disciplines to work through questions in quantum biology. We hope this was the first of many!
If you want more context, we put together a YouTube playlist featuring the leaders of the event.
2025 was a big year for the Quantum Biology ecosystem. Here are five highlights from the year, let's keep it growing!

✌️ out 2025
— the Quantum Biology DAO
As @claricedaiello.bsky.social reflects, 2025 marked a year of growth and learning for quantum biology.
Biology operations matured, and this is just the beginning at the @quantumbioorg.bsky.social!
As we reflect on 2025, let’s talk about one major milestone: the @quantumbioorg.bsky.social lab coming to life!
Happy birthday to the Quantum Biology Ecosystem’s favorite mad scientist. 🧪
Dr. Michael Montague is a scientist at @quantumbioorg.bsky.social and working group leader at the DAO. Grateful to be building alongside you and for keeping everyone on their toes!

Dr. Brian Ross preparing flavin cofactor solutions, to be used in continuing experiments with the bacterioscope.
Short walkthrough video in the thread below ⬇️
Edge diffraction to single-slit diffraction in a closing door next to my office. I'm greeted by this happy natural phenomenon every day and finally decided to film it.
#photonics #iteachphysics
That's adorable :)
Mind-blowing announcement from the National Science Foundation today.
This is awesome. This is the way to go.

If you’re new to quantum biology (or just curious), it’s been around longer than most people realize.
This review by Johnjoe McFadden and Jim Al-Khalili lays it out for anyone interested.
Who’s in LA next week? 👋
Next Thursday (Dec 4), Dr. Alessandro Lodesani will be speaking at AI Cafe in Venice about how tiny magnetic fields can have biological effects and why the mechanism might be quantum.
Come join us, SoCal friends! Details below: luma.com/AICafeDec4?u...
Let’s take a page out of nature’s book when it comes to science. 🌱
Ft. Pedro Alvarez, co-organizer of the first Quantum Biology
For over 50 years, research has shown that weak magnetic fields influence physiology across organisms and cell types, with effects consistent with electron spin–dependent chemical reactions.
Let's start paying attention to quantum biology.

1/ The first Quantum Biology Hackathon wrapped last weekend and it was amazing!
29 contributors came together from across disciplines to develop 6 different projects exploring how quantum effects might influence living systems. Long live quantum bio! 🧬
The first quantum biology hackathon wrapped last week!
Listen as @claricedaiello.bsky.social shares more about the experience. 🌟
🚀 The Quantum Biology Hackathon has begun!
For the next few days, researchers, engineers, technologists, & more are exploring how quantum physics might intersect biology.
Co-hosted by @quantumbioorg.bsky.social & Haus der Kulturen der Welt, with @claricedaiello.bsky.social helping lead in Berlin.
Big Quantum Bio Meeting, Thu Oct 23, 7am PT/10am ET!
This week the @QuantumBioOrg welcomes Francisco R. M. Laurindo, MD from Heart Institute (Incor), University of São Paulo School of Medicine to talk about "The Redox Code of Biological Signals"
Tune in to learn about quantum biology! Details below:
1/4 Brazilian Scientific Adventures of @claricedaiello.bsky.social #10:
The Casa Jose Coltro has consistently been awarded the title of one of the best Brazilian non-profits, with their school tutoring program for kids and tweens, and their professional training of youths from 14 to 59!
1/3 Brazilian Scientific Adventures of @claricedaiello.bsky.social #8:
As part of the @cienciapioneira.bsky.social Instituto D'Or de Pesquisa e Ensino Quantum Biology School, Clarice & Pedro a dear scientist friend went to a public school in Paraty to talk to the students about what scientists do.
The @quantumbioorg.bsky.social is hiring 2 scientists!
Come work with us!
1/2) Head of quantum instrumentation

1/2 Brazilian Scientific Adventures of @claricedaiello.bsky.social #7:
Clarice gives both the inaugural and the last class at the IDOR Quantum Biology School! What an honor!
1/2 Brazilian Scientific Adventures of @claricedaiello.bsky.social #6:
Clarice gives a seminar at the 2025 Paraty Quantum Information Workshop!
This traditional school cum workshop has been happening every 2 years in Paraty for the last 20 years.
Brazilian Scientific Adventures of @claricedaiello.bsky.social #5:
1/2 Clarice and Arizona State University uber-physicist Paul Davies were interviewed by the lovely Pauline Davies!
Guess what their favorite topic was? Quantum biology and the origin of life...
Brazilian Scientific Adventures of @claricedaiello.bsky.social #4:
Clarice attended a Breakfast for Women in Science at the Quantum Biology School, where everyone shared stories and experiences on how to make science more inclusive not only to women -- science is for everyone!
@claricedaiello.bsky.social, our co-founder and CSO at the @quantumbioorg.bsky.social, just wrapped up the NEB Molecular Biology Summer Workshop.
We must strive to keep learning how our collaborators work and approach what they do. This is interdisciplinary science in action. 🧬
@claricedaiello.bsky.social's Brazilian tour continues. She is headed to an intensive program at the School of Quantum Biology, organized by @cienciapioneira.bsky.social.
This program brings together researchers for sessions on quantum sensing, molecular modeling, and more.
Full details below!
This video from Pioneer Science shows @claricedaiello.bsky.social and others at the first School of Quantum Biology in Brazil.
For a week, researchers came together to explore, teach, and exchange ideas, fostering collaboration and advancing the field.
