The outstanding innovation hubs arising throughout the Bay Area has made starting a biotechnology company as graduate students possible. Much like a science project, the life of a start-up company is not straightforward, but there are some common milestones from birth to growth and success or failure. Success is hardly ...
Since the formulation of the concept of catalysis, extensive research has been conducted to understand the nature of reaction intermediates and their interactions with catalytic active sites - the atom(s) that form bonds with the reaction intermediates. In heterogeneous catalysis, manipulating an active site to change catalytic properties would involve ...

Particulate Matters: Addressing Global Urban Air PollutionFine particle (PM2.5) air pollution is a leading risk for mortality, resulting in more than 7% of all human deaths worldwide. Here, we present two analyses that help frame the global air pollution problem. First, using an unusually detailed satellite remote sensing dataset, we show how particle air pollution levels ...

Two-phase differential expression analysis for single cell RNA-seqSingle-cell RNA-sequencing (scRNA-seq) has brought the study of the transcriptome to higher resolution and makes it possible for scientists to provide answers with more clarity to the question of ‘differential expression’. Specifically, it allows us to observe binary (On/Off) as well as continuous (the amount of expression) regulations. We present ...

Advanced Image Recognition with Mask R-CNNWe will cover the progression of deep learning technologies leading up to Mask R-CNN: Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN), Fast R-CNN, Faster R-CNN and Mask R-CNN. Originally, images were labeled with one object name per image, such as "cat". Then, bounding box rectangles were used to label one or more objects ...
Bio-remediationBio-remediation is an emerging, multi-disciplinary field, full of challenges and promise. Our exposure to industrial pollution and toxins are increasing in our everyday environment. Together, we will dive into the history, present day, and the future of applied research in myco, bacterial, and phytoremediation. Utilizing a diversity of enzymatic functions, plants, ...

Nerd Night SF #100: Double-Slit, AI, and Sword Canes!“Through Two Doors at Once†by Anil AnanthaswamyThe famed double-slit experiment has continually challenged our ideas about the nature of reality itself. How can a single particle behave both like a particle and a wave? Does a particle, or indeed reality, exist before we look at it, or does looking ...
The Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) consists of 66 radio telescopes with (12 7-meter diameter and 54 12-meter diameter antennas) operating as one instrument. This unique array can image radiation from astronomical sources over the entire 0.3 millimeter to 9.6 millimeter wavelength range at unprecedented sensitivities, capable of producing ...
