Ruiwen Hu, a postdoc in #BioEGSB, attended #LiNo25 in #Chemistry as part of the UC President’s annual fellowship program. The event “offered a rare opportunity to engage directly with some of the world’s foremost scientific minds," including Nobel Laureate Moungi Bawendi (pictured with Hu).

New research on range extenders, or REX genetic enhancer elements, from @ucirvine.bsky.social, #BioEGSB scientists @berkeleylab.lbl.gov & international collaborators! These bits of DNA that regulate gene expression allow enhancers to work far away from their target.

In the foreground, a wild turkey stands facing away from the camera amid some scrub, apparently taking in a view of the East Bay featuring UC Berkeley's Campanile tower and stretching to the Santa Cruz mountains in the distance.
Even our avian neighbors appear to find the outlook from @berkeleylab.lbl.gov impressive, muses Suzie Kosina, a senior scientific engineering in #BioEGSB who snapped this pic. “Maybe this turkey was looking for its flock or food, but I’d like to think it was admiring the view.” #WildlifeWednesday

Rain and a bit of serendipity combined to enable #BioEGSB & @jgi.doe.gov staff scientist Ben Bowen to capture this stunning rainbow arcing over the SF Bay. Ben snapped this gem outside Building 65, the badge office, when he stopped by to inquire about his Lab ID not scanning. #BestViewfromaLab
