Hey plant synbio folks - Plant Physiology is now actively soliciting plant synbio papers. Get your manuscripts in! @PlantPhys
@PlantPhys is v. much open for broadly plant-related #SyntheticBiology business! 3 expert new editors @Cyano_Dan @MatiZurbriggen @McCormick_Lab, plus submission option via @biorxivpreprint & a robust scooping policy ⬇️ Please RT to spread the word!
The WH Pierce Global Impact in Microbiology Prize distinguishes itself by encompassing a broad spectrum of the UNSDGs, illustrating the versatile and wide-ranging impact of microbiology in various global contexts 🌍 Submit your nomination today: appliedmicrobiology.org/funding/awards…
Last 10 days to hand in your application to the @CSHANews course of #synbio in @pseudomonasputida. Absolutely not-missed opportunity to learn advanced techniques and get connected with the leading scientists community. See you in Suzhou.

MBT has received a score of 9.9 in the latest Cite Score rankings! We are thrilled to be in the top 12% of Applied Microbiology and Biotechnology journals. THANKS to our incredible readers, contributors, staff members, and editors for their unwavering support!!!
China is shifting from chemical fertilizers to biofertilizers to boost sustainability & reduce environmental risks. The review by Zhang’s group explores market growth, policy support, R&D advances & challenges in biofertilizer development. doi.org/10.1111/1751-7…
Connectomics😲. Just learnt a new technique rdcu.be/eqWTb
For solar fuels researchers, this is one best conference that one can learn the cutting-edge progress in bio-/photo-electrochemical research to harvest sunlight into chemical energy. Great and inspiring discussion
There is still time to submit an abstract for International Solar Fuels 5 in Newcastle this summer! rsc.org/events/detail/…
Dear PIs, please consider supporting your young PhDs and postdocs for such a course, as this will be unique chance to advance their knowledge that can benefit their career development but also the projects they are working. A win-win situation for both sides 😀
Deadline of application by July 6th. An intensive two weeks training via talks from leading metabolic engineers and practical tutoring from 5 different topics. A luxury opportunity for new synbio lovers at early career stage.

#ME16 is approaching soon on this Sunday, and cannot wait to meet many colleagues and friends, and also looking forward to the always-great and inspiring science from talks and posters. See you in #Copenhagen aiche.org/imes/conferenc…
📢 Submit your papers on Cas12-mediated Genome Editing in Plants! Share your research on CRISPR/Cas advancements for crop improvement. Deadline: 30 November 2025 Take your research to the world! ow.ly/BxPP50W6LWM @JIPBio
Perhaps we should avoid using military metaphors in our papers... "The FBI said authorities found a scientific article on Liu’s phone that was titled, “Plant-Pathogen Warfare under Changing Climate Conditions.”" theguardian.com/us-news/2025/j…
✈️Heading to Uppsala for the 3rd annual symposium hosted by my project mentor @LindbladPeter. Cannot wait to see one of the best cyanobacterial research hubs in the world.
🙌We are hiring! lnkd.in/es33RS8M There is a 3-year funded PhD studentship in my group biohybrids.group at QMUL. If you find the idea of engineering bacteria for "better" electron transfer to support a sustainable future exciting, please click the link above!
I really respect some journals with long historical high reputation, but now may be fall in Q2 or Q3 group. But during my limited experience, I suffered several times of long review time, delay even no response from editors. These demotivate me to support these journals further😮💨
