This week at AAAS, PNNL scientists discuss phenomics and the factors that influence DNA instructions to bring about the world around us.

The Pacific Northwest Association of Toxicologists (PANWAT) presented its annual Toxicology Achievement Award to Katrina Waters at the Society of Toxicology Pacific Northwest Chapter Meeting, held in Lynnwood, Washington, on September 30th.

PNNL biodefense experts seek to identify, understand and mitigate the risks of biological pathogens—whether naturally occurring or intentionally created—so steps can be taken to prepare and respond.

The 2024 State of the Science Report on environmental effects of marine renewable energy research has been released.

Early life exposure to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), found in smoke, has been linked to developmental problems. To study the impacts of these pollutants, PAH metabolism in infants and adults were compared.

PMedIC, the PNNL and OHSU joint research collaboration, contributes to student success and impact in biomedicine.

Researchers are leveraging the ocean’s natural processes to advance approaches to remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and store it in the ocean.

PNNL researchers are working to provide the technical assistance and expertise needed for communities to shape their clean energy future.

Input from humans helps when deciding whether to trust the recommendations or decisions of a machine-learning system.

Scientists screen for nanobodies that recognize wild type and mutant functional proteins to develop a framework to disrupt protein interactions that can cause disease.

PNNL’s software tool brings together artificial intelligence and satellite imagery to help responders assess damage and take action.

PNNL-Sequim scientists will spend the next year testing a new technology that could allow the ocean to soak up more carbon dioxide without contributing to ocean acidification.

Recovery Simulator and Analysis tool further strengthens PNNL’s short-term resilience planning efforts for Puerto Rico.

Algae can collect and concentrate rare earth metals from seawater—an alternative to imported sources mined from the ground.

Lauren Charles, a chief data scientist at PNNL, joined the editorial board of the largest open access journal published by Nature Research.

Joshua Adkins and Jamie Lo will lead PMedIC, Pacific Northwest National Laboratory and Oregon Health & Science University’s joint research institute.
