Stop glamorizing the hustle and start glamorizing the mussel
To everyone saying this might be a show about biotech I must point out - Weirdly creamy yellow medium - Terrible streaking technique - Q-tip used as inoculating loop If this does turn out to be about biotech, I hope somebody got fired for these blunders
Happiness is contagious.
Overheard two guys at my local garden shop planning to use glyphosate to kill the tree of heaven and I thought they were talking about a side quest in dark souls
"psychological sci-fi" this show is about being a postdoc
First poster for ‘Breaking Bad’ creator Vince Gilligan’s next TV series. • Described as a psychological sci-fi starring Rhea Seehorn • Coming soon to Apple TV+
So excited to launch our 1st reagent products at Ginkgo!! We've built a ton of amazing biology tools over the years -- awesome to get them in the hands of researchers! Free samples at the link below if you'd like to try out our cell-free protein synthesis system!! 😀🧬 🧬
Cell-free protein synthesis systems, optimized at Ginkgo and now available to you! Ginkgo has been using cell-fee protein synthesis systems in house for years, and we’re now making our E. coli system available to outside users! We’ve optimized it for: • High production from…

Cultured meat not easy to deliver at scale but it is going to be essential if we want supply chain resilience in this cyberpunk ass future we're building
He can't believe you mixed up protein kinase a with protein kinase b

A more bioluminescent future is one we could choose to build
sucks about my lack of bioluminescence
This poll suggests that many people see "reviewing your research priorities" as a light exercise that can be done frequently In my experience, re-prioritizing a years-long project merits at least weeks of thought and can't practically be done every few months
If you do basic research, you have to balance long-term dedication to a hard problem with occasional gut-checks that you’re really working on the right thing How often is the right frequency to thoroughly review your research priorities and seriously consider a change?

I'm generally opposed to synthetic biologists playing god but low key I would probably do this
“The arc of history is long, and it bends toward” *flips through history book* Oh. Oh no. Oh no no no
Hey biofam! How does one biohacker practice protein purification? It's one thing to express GFP, it's whole another ballgame to separate GFP from all the non-GFPs. Any fun techniques that doesn't require major equipment?
In 2007, physicist Freeman Dyson wrote an essay called “Our Biotech Future” for The New York Review. In it, he wrote: “I see a bright future for the biotechnology industry when it follows the path of the computer industry…becoming small and domesticated rather than big and…
