I got to see The Bag™ in person during our visit to Modern Synthesis.
Made by bacterial nanocellulose, it is refreshing to see how wide the applications of biomaterials can be! #modernsynthesis

Had a lot of fun at our 2nd in-person meeting for Sustainable Style UKRI Engineering Biology Mission Award with Northumbria University collaborators and Colorifix coming to Imperial before we all headed to Modern Synthesis to see bacterial cellulose being made into exciting textiles.
Fine art at the Centre for #SyntheticBiology in Imperial college. I wonder how much it’s valued…
They claimed to be making a safer crossing and they removed it in favour of a more dangerous one... Really scary both as a pedestrian and a cyclist as you cannot see the cars coming out of the roundabout.
The Colney Lane roundabout has hit the news again, with @rantyhighwayman.bsky.social saying our latest video "should be used as training material for designers to show them everything that's bad about UK roundabout design".

My and my partner (also a biotech) won a 3D printer in a competition. The very first thing we print? Single falcon tube holders of course!
So clichè but makes me wonder about this I untackled market niche…
Excited to attend this as in years of science I could not find queer scientists in the wild!
no funding if it seems like the research MIGHT involve a woman or a nonwhite person
BIG news in synthetic biology!!! 🔬…and it’s actually very tiny. The world’s first synthetic eukaryotic genome is complete! The final chromosome in a synthetic yeast genome for baker’s yeast was completed by the Sc2.0 project.
If they mention the plasmid at all... 🫥
👇 This! Papers using new plasmids should report full plasmid sequences in the SI. Without this, the work cannot be reproduced. Now that @plasmidsaurus.bsky.social and others can quickly and inexpensively sequence whole plasmids, there is no excuse!
Most of the scientists on Twitter I followed stopped posting around July 2024. But then they are not here either… 404 scientists not found 😫
Welcome immigrants from X interested in science to the friendlier skies of @bsky.app, as documented by a new @nature.com survey (but you already knew that 😉)

Following the thread as sadly I’ll have to miss it this year
