"Sustainable alternatives to lithium-ion batteries are crucial to a carbon-neutral society."
"This conductive mat is fantastic for batteries."
"Our goal is to design systems that can be activated by light to selectively target cancer cells, while leaving healthy cells unharmed."
"By understanding how molecules absorb and use light, we can create new approaches that address some of the most difficult problems in medicine."
"We’re using the power of supercomputing to see things no microscope can—how viruses move, interact, and evolve."
"That's right. That's right. They were scientists involved in public health. And for that reason, I always was encouraged to explore science, math, as well as all of the broader fields of social and physical sciences."
"Yes, I was academically inclined. I was the good student. I raised my hand a lot. I got good grades, and I tended to be very much engaged with my teachers. I tended to know my teachers very well."
"Since my freshman year of high school, I have been intrigued by RNA. I conducted my Ph.D. research in Jennifer Doudna’s lab where I was the first student to work on CRISPR. Based on work that was done in her lab, we co-founded Caribou Biosciences with two other scientists. I wanted to transition from academia to industry to have a more direct impact through science on my community. Today at Caribou, our goal is to help realize the promise of CRISPR genome-editing technology and to develop new, potentially transformative cell therapies to help patients with devastating diseases. A role in industry provides me the opportunity to contribute to the development of new therapies for patients that could have a meaningful impact on their lives."
"I thought that being a company co-founder would be an amazing opportunity (and I was right!). Founding Caribou was risky. We did not know if we’d be able to raise money, hire a team, and ultimately build a successful organization. However, it was an exciting challenge I feel really lucky to have jumped into. As a company co-founder, and especially as the founding president and CEO, I’ve had the opportunity to work with many talented colleagues and lead Caribou to achieve some important milestones, including dosing the first patient in our phase 1 clinical trial for our first allogeneic cell therapy, CB-010, and completing a successful $350 million IPO."
"I am passionate about chemistry and really keen to ensure that opportunities are available to young people from all different backgrounds to become chemists. We need diversity of opinions, different perspectives and the best talent to take the discipline forward into the future."
"My mentors have been incredibly important to me. I trusted them to give me the best advice, whether I had asked for it or not, and they also gave me confidence to take up opportunities I might otherwise have declined. It’s really important that we take the time to do the same for the next generation of chemists."
"I always believed that if you just like laid down the facts, provided the evidence, that people would go along with what was best for humanity. And that has not been the case during this pandemic. That has killed me."
"An aerosol is a stable suspension of solid or liquid particles in the air. They come out of someone’s mouth, or they come out of a smokestack, or they come out of the tailpipe, and you watch them, they don’t fall to the ground. They float and waft off into the sky."
"Maybe it’s time to rethink what we value as strengths and signs of leadership."
"I realized I was the only woman on the list. There were 12 names, and I was the only one, it shocked me. Most of my women friends are scientists. They are doing extremely well — why don’t they get the top jobs?"
"With men, the response is often led with the person’s accomplishments. With women, it is often initially focused on style and behavior; capabilities come second."
"A previous publication reported the occurrence of in the eyes of all rats fed on rations containing as the chief source of . Negative results with other carbohydrates tested led to an investigation of as the next logical step. This sugar was fed to young rats at 35% and 25% levels corresponding to the galactose available from the 70% and 50% lactose rations fed in previous experiments. Four rats on the 35% galactose ration developed mature bilateral cataract in 12, 14, 14, and 37 days respectively (average 19 days), whereas those on the 25% galactose ration were somewhat more delayed. The average time for the development of mature bilateral cataract in 49 rats fed the 70% lactose ration was 10 weeks, approximately 4 times as long. Controls fed on the 70% starch ration showed no eye changes."
"... Even minor during the growing period may prevent full potential growth from being attained. ... Growth potential is not a thing that can be speeded up and lowed down and still obtain the same end results. According to ..., if one does not use the full potential alI the way along, one does not achieve full development. The same ultimate weight may be reached but not the ideal shape and composition. If the rate of growth is sufficiently slowed down, the adult is not only smalI but under-developed with normal or nearly normal head size, moderately retarded trunk and relatively short legs."
"(quote from p. 521)"
"Remember that there were no in the 1920's, and every had to depend on a few recognized authorities for estimates of needs of children. In 1923, called attention ... to the protein needs for optimal growth in rats which he estimated to be about 15 per cent of the calories. He contrasted that with which provides only 7 per cent of the calories in the form of protein, to provide for the growth of the infant. He also emphasized what and had demonstrated earlier that animal proteins were more efficient for growth than plant proteins."
