Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory rolls out STEM ‘Bicycle Principles’
"We've all had horrible teachers," recalls Jason Williams. Williams is Assistant Director of Diversity and Research Readiness at the Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory (CSHL) DNA Learning Center. "There have been efforts to improve science education at the undergraduate level for decades. But there's basically no effort to improve education once you've graduated.

Flagship Pioneering Unveils Quotient Therapeutics to Create Transformative Medicines Informed by a New Frontier of Genetics
"The assumption that we each have a single genome turns out to be off by a trillion-fold," said Geoffrey von Maltzahn, Ph.D., Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Quotient Therapeutics and General Partner, Flagship Pioneering. "All cells accumulate random genetic changes in their DNA, resulting in trillions of unique genomes in the body. Some genetic changes make a cell resistant or vulnerable to disease, while others can cause disease. We started Quotient to study the natural genetics library inside every tissue, discover gene variants that are beneficial, neutral, or disease-causing, and to harness that knowledge to develop the medicines of tomorrow."
