Scientists have birthed a ‘super cannibal’ that never grows up. Could it be key to combating Australia’s cane toad menace? theguardian.com/environment/20…
I sat down for a break during my morning walk at #ICE2024Kyoto and this guy started croaking at me. How appropriate.
Great lineup of speakers for #ICBE25. Students and postdocs can still submit abstracts to be a part of it. aiche.org/sbe/conference…
We are excited to finally publish the unprecedented biosynthetic origins of enediyne natural products: iodinated polyynes! This transformative discovery is a huge milestone for these clinical antitumor antibiotics. @Kalkreuter @guichun98 @nchembio nature.com/articles/s4158…
AmberBio is hiring: amber.bio/careers. I highly recommend looking into it if you want to work at a fast-moving startup with a creative and impactful technology. @themicrobeguy
Looking for a postdoc? We are currently hiring plant synthetic biologist to work on an exciting and collaborative DoE project.
Great work by Tepper, Maselko, et al. Fish that break down methylmercury!
Thanks @themicrobeguy for a great seminar on engineered trans-splicing. Great our alumni crushing it @umncbs
Putting this on the summer reading list. Looks exciting Basem.

At high ratios of male-to-female, (i.e., ratios that are expected for many mosquito biocontrol approaches), the females are pestered to the point where they no longer blood-feed, improving the performance of the biocontrol in an interesting and unexpected way!

I especially liked his blog on mouse models [nikomccarty.com/everything-wro…]. Making model organisms more predictive of the thing they are supposed to be modeling is a worthwhile goal of near-future Synthetic Biology (Engineering Biology?, what are we saying now?).
