@EngBioRC has a new pilot event called Obfuscating Biological Sequences to Ethically Reveal Vulnerabilities "OBSERV." It's an opportunity to advance security considerations for synthetic biology. Reg. closes April 29th. #synbio @TwistBioscience sponsored ebrc.org/programs/obser…

There's a push underway by @Jacob__Beal to create a @StackExchange for synthetic biology. If you don't know what that is, think the most awesome Q&A resource ever for your bioengineering needs. Please "commit" here to make it happen: area51.stackexchange.com/proposals/1250…

Come help define a Synthetic Biology StackExchange! In the actual practice of working in synthetic biology, so many pragmatic details aren't captured well in scientific papers. Right now, they're passed around via oral tradition, but there are better ways area51.stackexchange.com/proposals/1250…

We engineered bacteria to have two separate conversations over one chemical channel by separating them in time. Congrats to @JS3xton on a beautiful piece of synthetic biology. @Rice_BIOE Multiplexing cell‐cell communication | Molecular Systems Biology embopress.org/doi/10.15252/m…

A new B. subtilis inducible promoter with >10,000 fold dynamic range! It's stringently off without IPTG and 50-fold more inducible than the widely used Phyperspank system. Get it from the Bacillus Genetic Stock Center. Congrats @castillohair! pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10.10…

Very proud to share this work! We engineered E. coli with circuits that allow them to multiplex (share/reuse) a cell-cell communication channel. We also developed some cool techniques and models along the way! HT @LabTabor biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Frustrated by the lack of orthogonal cell-cell communication systems for synthetic biology? Just pick your favorite one and use time-division multiplexing to transmit multiple conversations through it! Proud of @JS3xton. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
