Clarice D. Aiello (she,her)’s Brazilian tour continues. She wrapped up her talk yesterday at the Institute of Physics at USP and is now headed to a weeklong intensive program at the School of Quantum Biology. She’ll be teaching and presenting alongside global researchers exploring how

🧬 Today at the Quantum Biology Institute lab! Brian, head of biochemistry at the Quantum Biology Institute (QBI), has been cloning a few genes into plasmids (small loops of DNA that bacteria can use to make proteins). He’s now mini-prepping, or purifying, these plasmids to check if the

🔬 Ale gives a quick rundown of TIRF microscopy, the technique included in the novel Quantum Microscope build at the Quantum Biology Institute. P.S. Happy belated birthday, Alessandro Lodesani (it was earlier this week). 🎈

Scientists in our ecosystem observed that tadpoles had accelerated development in the absence of Earth’s magnetic field. If magnetic sensitivity affects other animals, what could it mean for human biology? 🧐

🔔 Heads up! Our weekly Quantum Biology DAO community call is happening this Thursday at 9am PT / 12pm ET on Discord. We’ll cover updates from our working groups and share the latest from across the DAO. Whether you’re already contributing or just curious about what’s happening,

The Quantum Biology Institute lab keeps buzzing as progress continues on the quantum microscope. Among the recent activity: a visit from Quantum Biology Institute scientist Lőrinc Sárkány, who traveled from Hungary a few weeks ago to contribute to the ongoing development of the optical

⚡🔌 Who knew a power cord could be this cool? The Quantum Biology Institute just installed 3-phase power in two of the labs, a key step in building their quantum microscope. This upgrade will let its electromagnet tap into a full rack of electronics to precisely control and

🤔 What’s going on here? This is part of the Quantum Biology Institute’s quantum microscope build. Laser light is being sent through a thin glass cable into a setup designed for TIRF microscopy (a method that lights up only the very top layer of a sample). Right now, the team

Brazilian Scientific Adventures of Clarice D. Aiello (she,her) #1: It's always nice to visit back to one's original alma mater! Clarice gave a public talk to the Institute of Physics of the University of Sao Paulo USP - Universidade de São Paulo! More than 50 people came to learn more about Quantum Biology.

New rules. New tools. New science. DeSci is here. 🧪

Brazilian Scientific Adventures of Clarice D. Aiello (she,her) #2: Clarice was interviewed live on the weekly meeting of the Instituto do Coração (InCor) of the Medical School of the University of Sao Paulo FMUSP - Oficial! She talked about how quantum physics can inform the life sciences:

Clarice D. Aiello (she,her) spreading that good quantum biology word 🙌

Brazilian Scientific Adventures of Clarice D. Aiello (she,her) #4: Clarice just 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!

Let's get into lasers ⚡️ Last week, Ale gave a rundown of the current optical and laser setup for the quantum microscope build. This is #DeSci in action: the DAO funding and sharing progress, the Quantum Biology Institute building the tech. More to come!

At the Quantum Biology Institute, Alessandro Lodesani has taken a big step toward the quantum microscope: successfully testing and calibrating the Institute’s powerful electromagnet. He can now control the magnetic field it produces with Python code. This electromagnet allows the team to test

🧬 Join us this week at the Quantum Biology DAO, all are welcome! Thursday, August 21 — Community Call A weekly space to share updates, hear what’s happening in the DAO, and discuss the future of quantum biology. 🕘 9AM PT / 12PM ET Friday, August 22 — Trivia An async quiz with

As AI continues to advance, new ideas are emerging about how we might take the next leap. One promising area of exploration is quantum biology. Some researchers are considering whether quantum effects could play a role in how neurons function. If cognition depends on these

Part 2 of Brian’s work at the Quantum Biology Institute lab! In our last post, Brian mini-prepped plasmids (DNA that bacteria can read like instructions). Now, he’s checking to see if the cloning worked and if the genes he wanted to insert actually made it in. How? With something called a
