• "GovCons told us they want these capabilities synchronized with their accounting and project management, so we listened and acted.
• Unanet's inventory and project manufacturing capabilities come through a recent acquisition of Flowtrac Software , an exclusive Unanet partner who has fully integrated offerings within the Unanet platform.
• Available today, Unanet GovCon ERP with inventory and project manufacturing gives customers:
  Simplified compliance with built-in guardrails and audit trails.
• Flowtrac will continue to provide industry-leading asset, inventory, and project manufacturing capabilities to the wide variety of industries it serves today.

• The courier hands me an unassuming brown box with “live animals” plastered on the side.
• The cardboard exterior gives way to a white polystyrene clamshell, cloistering a pearly sphere-shaped, water-filled bag.
• The Californian Monterey Bay Aquarium’s Jellyfish: Living Art was the organisation’s most popular and long-running exhibit since opening in 1984.
• A study has shown eating cannonball jellyfish, for example, can reduce the effects of arthritis – albeit so far only in a small group of rats.

A biological wonder

• For example, immortal jellyfish (Turritopsis dohrnii) sidestep the ageing process by reverting to their polyp stage.
• Crystal jellies’ (Aequorea victoria) green fluorescent protein (GFP), found in organs within the animal’s bell, allows scientists to study gene expression.
• Gene expression is the instruction manual DNA follows, for example, to become proteins.
• This gives the crabs security and research suggests jellyfish hosting crabs grow larger than those without, but it’s not clear why.

Sea curiosities

• Research suggests ocean literacy is best cultivated through hands-on experience and personal interactions.
• But the technology aquariums use to bring jellyfish to the masses limit how involved audiences can be with the animals.
• Although scientists have argued technology can damage people’s relationships with other animals, it can help us reconnect with our environment too.
• Bacteria must be introduced into the tank to control jellyfish waste (ammonia) by converting it into nitrite and then nitrate.

• CHALK RIVER, Ontario, May 12, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Atomic Energy of Canada Limited (AECL), Canadian Nuclear Laboratories (CNL) and Global First Power (GFP) are pleased to announce that GFP has selected a location at the Chalk River Laboratories to site its proposed Micro-Modular™ Reactor (MMR®) project.
• The energy output of the MMR makes it well suited for application in off-grid remote communities and industrial sites.
• “GFP is thrilled to stand alongside our partners today to mark this milestone toward meeting Canada’s clean energy goals,” remarked Mr. Diening.
• To learn more about Global First Power and its MMR demonstration project, please visit www.globalfirstpower.com .

• The collaboration seeks to expand the utility of ATCC's microbiology reference materials to accelerate biomanufacturing and biotechnology research and development by making more microorganisms accessible.
• And yet, today's bioeconomy relies on a handful of model microbes among the large number of species identified.
• "Our goal is to expand the reach of ATCC's collection by making these organisms genetically tractable to the life science community.
• Cultivarium will generate open-source protocols, data sets, and tools that will be published on the Cultivarium portal.
