Enjoy a crisp fizzy soda with us! 🥤 What makes it fizz though? CO₂ is packed into the liquid under pressure, and once you open it, the bubbles escape and bring that bright sparkle we love! 🫧

Explore this process in VR our Snack Shack 10k Science experience on Meta Quest! tinyurl.com/10kScience

Be the first to land on the surface of a pizza! 🍕🧀 What makes cheese so stretchy? It’s casein proteins forming a flexible web that melts and relaxes, creating that perfect cheese pull!

How exactly do painkillers work? 🧪 Protoxin-II, a newly researched painkiller from UC Davis, blocks pain by binding to sodium channels to close them. Where as morphine acts on receptors that lower the neuron's excitability, so sodium channels open less often. See it in VR here:

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! 🧪🔬

💥 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.

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
