As Creative Director at the Ó³»­´«Ã½, Bang Wong has helped shape the ¶Ù±·´¡³Ù°ù¾±³Ü³¾â€™s varied exhibits, created figures and for many scientific papers, and collaborated with scientists on the best way to .

Earlier this month, researchers from the Ó³»­´«Ã½ and Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) published a paper in Nature Methods about a new approach to an established technique. The technique is called ChiP-seq, short for chromatin immunoprecipitation with high-throughput sequencing, and is used to study how protein and DNA interact. The paper's authors are postdoctoral scholars Mazhar Adli and Jiang Zhu and Ó³»­´«Ã½ associate member Brad Bernstein. Brad answered five of our questions about his latest paper and his field of interest.

If you’ve already finished all of the books on the previous list, here are a few more science-themed summer reads that we’ve been hearing about.

Ó³»­´«Ã½ Visual Designer Lauren Solomon worked with Associate Member John Rinn and postdoctoral scientist Maite Huarte on a cover concept to illustrate their paper in the August 6 issue of the journal Cell describing the critical role lincRNAs play in mediating the cellular response to DNA damage. Lauren arrived at the Ó³»­´«Ã½ earlier this year after 19 years as senior graphic designer at Millipore Corp. in Billerica, where she designed everything from t-shirts to building signs and everything between.
