Introducing: Our development intern Laurier who built the new coin voting minigame in 10k Science, so you can tell us what science topics you'd like to explore in upcoming experiences! 🧪🔬

Jump in on Meta Quest to check it out...it's super fun to play!✨ Subscribers get extra coins every month!

💥 Do you know how pain travels through the body?...How about how pain STOPS traveling through the body? 🛑

See at the molecular level (look INSIDE a synapse!) how pain treatments work in our newest immersive science experience that we just launched TODAY: Pain & Painkillers – in VR on Meta Quest! 🧪

🕷️Can tarantula toxins be used as pain medicine?🧪

Scientists from @ucdavis.bsky.social are researching how Protoxin-II, a protein found in tarantula venom, can be used as an alternative to current opioid painkillers like morphine.

Find out how the the toxin stops pain in the nervous system in VR!

🧬 What if a single change in DNA could cure a lifelong disease?

In our flagship experience, see how scientists from @innovativegenomics.bsky.social are using #CRISPR gene editing to repair the DNA mutation that causes sickle cell disease.

Explore CRISPR & Sickle Cell in 10k Science on Meta Quest!🧪

Oh no!! What happened to Sunshine Creek Vineyards?? Half the vineyard is wilting, and it's your job to save all the wine and investigate! 🔍🍷🥀

🧪 Based on real research models from scientists at @ucberkeleyofficial.bsky.social.

Let's zoom inside this man's brain! He's got a bad burn...should he take opioid pain meds, or a new treatment based on...tarantula toxins?! 🕷️

Coming soon on Nov 19th: our new Pain & Painkillers experience!

Based on research from @UCDavis scientists.

During our two-week bootcamp in February, Lauren Talbot, PhD candidate at UC Berkeley, built a 3D museum in VR that introduces the viewer to the San Fernando Dam failure of 1971, and demonstrates the development of a new numerical method to model large-deformation dam failures. #scicomm #science

We just completed our third 10k Science Communication Bootcamp! 🧬 Four UC Berkeley scientists visualized their research like never before: 10k.science/bootcamp-3

Special thanks to our bootcamp experts: @jiwasa.bsky.social, Dee Rossiter, and @meganhoch.bsky.social!
