Rolling Stone Magazine Honors Three Cyclotron Road Innovators

Two Cyclotron Road Fellows, Kendra Kuhl and Etosha Cave, were among Rolling Stone’s “25 People Shaping the Future in Tech, Science, Medicine, Activism and More.” Co-founders of Opus 12, they set out to rid the world of CO2 emissions by trapping greenhouse gases and converting it into carbon-based compounds that are used to make plastics and liquid fuels.

Cyclotron Road, one of three DOE Lab-Embedded Entrepreneurship Programs based at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, was created to address critical gaps in human capital development by providing stipends and two-year institutional homes where talented scientific innovators become first-time entrepreneurs.
