After so many lessons learned during Helene response we have been blessed to have several partners show up and not only provide support, but also vital equipment. Deniz and her team at Squishy Robotics were in Asheville this week to provide equipment that was needed during the S&R efforts. While a multi-gas attached to a M350, being read remotely by an Avata somewhat worked, Squishy Sensor Robot is the solution we needed! The Asheville Police Department is grateful to all of our supporting partners, without them this training would not have been possible. The DJI FLycart makes delivery of the Squishy Sensor seemless. We will continue to train, so that we may be ready and able to attempt to pay forward what we were provided. Thank you again to all that came and continue to come to our aid!

🚨 Happening tomorrow! Join us at ABPDU's Next Gen Tech Expo to hear from 35+ organizations offering scale-up solutions. Register: https://lnkd.in/gbra6cHn Agenda: https://lnkd.in/gZKZ3-sb #biomanufacturing #ScaleUp #bioeconomy #biotech

It was a pleasure to be part of the High School STEM Day last month. We welcomed over 80 students through our doors at the Joint BioEnergy Institute, Agile BioFoundry, and Advanced Biofuels and Bioproducts Process Development Unit (ABPDU) to demonstrate what a STEM career is like. It was especially wonderful to welcome back former #JBEI intern, now high school teacher, Mers Tran. Many thanks to the #TeamBioSci members who were part of making this impactful day happen: Allie Pearson, Clint Gil, Jutta Dalton, Laura Fernandez, Mary Agnitsch, Peter Winegar, Randy Louie, PE, Sadiki Showers, Sara Harmon, Shubhasish Goswami, Stephen Tan, and William Toomey Check out the video of this amazing day: https://lnkd.in/gb8CMXqA Berkeley Lab Berkeley Lab K-12 Programs Wareham Development

The PAXIO team can not express enough appreciation for Wareham Development Nothing but respect for their professionalism and partnership! Celebration dinner last night at Townhouse in Emeryville.

When asked about Berkeley Lab’s impact, we often point to our Advanced Biofuels and Bioproducts Process Development Unit (ABPDU), a scale-up facility helping turn lab breakthroughs in biofuels, biomaterials, and biochemicals into commercial reality. With a modest $3M annual budget, a team of 30, and a potential market impact exceeding $2 billion, ABPDU’s reputation reaches across the Atlantic. We were excited to share this work with the UK’s Secretary of State for Science, Innovation, and Technology, The Rt Hon Peter Kyle MP. Photos: The Department for Science, Innovation and Technology.
