STEM outreach for middle and high school students
Mon Oo Yee, a former m-CAFEs researcher, contributed to high-quality content created/produced by experts in STEM fields for middle and high school STEM students through the education & outreach nonprofit STEMsi. Mon Oo Yee, m-CAFEs Postdoctoral Fellow … [Read more...]
Bringing biosciences to high school students through the BLDAP
The Berkeley Lab Director’s Apprenticeship Program (BLDAP) provides an opportunity for underrepresented public high school students (including African Americans, American Indians/Alaska Natives, Latinx, LGBTQ+, students from low income households, and first-generation college attendees) to apply themselves in STEM projects and develop strong connections to the broader scientific community and Berkeley Lab researchers. The Northen Lab, a research group that contributes to m-CAFEs, has led … [Read more...]
A metabolic modeling platform for the computation of microbial ecosystems in time and space (COMETS)
Similarly to the way computer simulations are used to forecast the weather, COMETS simulates how microbial communities and their surrounding environment change of over time, as a consequence of metabolic activity. In COMETS, metabolic networks of individual species are used to predict growth and the flow of molecules across the membrane. This is complemented by equations that describe how biomass and metabolites propagate in space, enabling complex virtual experiments with multiple species. … [Read more...]
