Book cover for Reproducible Code guide. The cover has a red background with a large yellow-bodied black-headed stag beetle.
Excited to launch the new improved Reproducible Code guide from @britishecologicalsociety.org @methodsinecoevol.bsky.social FREE online here! www.britishecologicalsociety.org//wp-content/... Amazing work by some very talented ECRs. We hope it’s useful!
A new perspective/review article on the role of Synthetic Biology in realizing bio-based economy, shout out to @andrea-garza-e.bsky.social for the heavy lift! www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
🙌 congratulations Carrie!
Well deserved for all the work you do / have done for the SynBio group! 🎉🧬
oh, i read this recently
i was wondering if it could be useful for some synbio purpose?
persistence of a function encoded on the plasmid, alongside the rrna? 🤔
🚨Just announced! The NSF-NIST Bioeconomy Standards Scholar-in-Residence Initiative offers researchers the opportunity to spend time at a NIST lab developing expertise in standards development for AI-ready data, workflows, machine readable code, calibration objects, and more. tinyurl.com/44cuz94u
opinion: we should be saying upstrand and downstrand instead of upstream and downstream 🧬
As #Halloween approaches, adults stalk the aisles of stores, looking for their favorite gummy candy. Chemists can tweak many ingredients in search of the best bounce or bite, but one of the largest differentiators is the molecule that creates the gel: cen.acs.org/food/food-in...

My most successful outreach effort by far is the "Friends Don't Let Friends Made Bad Graphs" repository. It has 6.8 bookmarks on GitHub. That's just people with a GitHub account, not counting those who have used it but don't have a GitHub account.

🚨 A new rule would let career scientists like NSF/NIH program officers be replaced by political appointees
Already 14,000+ public comments, deadline is Friday
📣 Comments can be short. Courts consider them—and scientists with NSF/NIH experience are especially impactful
Speak up! shorturl.at/WKuBj
1/10 Today in @science.org in collaboration with
the Liu group we report the development of a laboratory-evolved CRISPR-associated transposase (evoCAST) that supports therapeutically relevant levels of RNA-programmable gene insertion in human cells. drive.google.com/file/d/1I-Ub...
Thanks to scienceimpacts.org for mapping the impacts of cutting NIH indirect costs & making it easy for local news to focus on the impacts to their community
Thanks to @sciencehomecoming.bsky.social for helping researchers write op-eds for their hometown newspapers about the impacts on science 4/
Very excited to share a manuscript at the heart of my PhD! We added an RNA-memory device (RAM) to phage P1 to identify transduction hosts in synthetic and wastewater microbial communities in high throughput. Also, I am on the post-doc market, so please reach out if interested! 1/6

the general vibe i get from my bacteria
when your culture finally hits the right OD
when it looks like your plate might have promising results
when your sequence does something weird and both you and the DNA are like 🤷🏽♀️
when you added the wrong antibiotic, but you dont get to find out until the next day
