On a mission to engineer microbes for Mars 🦠. Let's make biomanufacturing ubiquitous, reliable, and green — on Earth and beyond! 🚀🌼
Heads up: terraforming Mars isn’t just sci-fi, it’s a real possibility that’s possible with today’s technology. Mars could be green in MY lifetime. 🚀 🌼 What’s stopping us? We need a lot more real research into how to do it right. Don’t nuke Mars! 👇
If we terraform Mars, it would be a powerful example of human civilization having a net *positive* impact on the surrounding environment.
Today I and 11 other scientists describe in Nature Astronomy how recent breakthroughs in launch capabilities, climate, and synthetic biology demand a new assessment of the feasibility of terraforming Mars. @edwinkite @marsninja @CharlesCockell @RamsesSpaceman @johncumbers…
We’re excited to welcome our first residency cohort! This exceptional group of scientists, engineers, and entrepreneurs embodies our mission of creating public goods through open science and technology.
"There are no excuses in space for continuing to use technologies that we now know aren't sustainable" 🚀🌼🍀
It was so cool for @Pioneer__Labs to be featured on Planetary Radio and get to meet Mat Kaplan!! When I was first tuning back in to the space science community a few years ago this was where I got my news 🤩 @PlanRad open.spotify.com/episode/51p3Ej…
Check out 🏆A Biologist’s Guide to Mars Dirt, where we present a receipt for soluble Mars Regolith Media (sMRM) that best simulates what you’d get if you added water to Mars dirt. Will anything grow in this media? Stay tuned! 💧+ 🪨 → 🌱 ? open.substack.com/pub/pioneerlab…
Our newest open science update about engineering microbes for Mars! 🚀🦠 We fragmented a halophilic genome 🔪, built functional libraries 🪡 and selected them 🤼 to find genes that measurably 📏 improved salt tolerance🛠🧂! Lab notebook links included. open.substack.com/pub/pioneerlab…
🚀 Big news! @erika_alden_d from @Pioneer__Labs and @rajpanjabi from @FlagshipPioneer are speaking at #SynBioBeta2025! 🌟 Don’t miss their bold ideas. Register today for May 5-8 in San Jose! #HealthcareInnovation #FutureOfBiotech #TechForGood
Pioneer Labs is recruiting! We're a nonprofit on a mission to engineer the first microbes that will be used on Mars. 🚀🌻 We’re looking for a Research Associate (in-person in Dogpatch, San Francisco) to join the team in Dec '24/ Jan '25 jobs.ashbyhq.com/astera/8f1efdd…
Can we reinvent scientific publishing to add value to research, rather than be a time sink? 👩🔬 Here's the first science-heavy update from Pioneer Labs, where we engineer microbes for Mars. 🚀🦠 This post is complete with direct links to the primary literature... our lab notes!
Follow along as we engineer microbes for Mars. 🚀🦠 Check out our open science update, complete with direct links to the primary literature - our lab notebooks! We can reliably measure salt tolerance 📏🧂 open.substack.com/pub/pioneerlab…
