📣 We're joining up with the Joint Genome Institute to launch our joint Critical Minerals & Materials Proposal Call! This is an opportunity to request the capabilities and expertise of both facilities here at Berkeley Lab. We're looking for research proposals that integrate #genomics with #nanoscale science, accelerating discoveries and developing transformative bio-based technologies that address challenges in the sourcing, recovery, and utilization of critical minerals and materials. The call opens on March 1, and you can register for our Feb. 27 webinar now! Get the links in the comments!
