an important and worthwhile read from S.B. Fedeli & S. Leibler "Toward systems agroecology: Design and control of intercropping" pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…
1/ We need new ways of producing foods and fuels to minimise our impact on our planet. Our new paper now in @NatureBiotech examines whether microbes hold the key to producing foods and fuels in the future Open access: rdcu.be/eiIUu nature.com/articles/s4158…
Wonder how I missed this amazing news... an amazing work on modeling redox fluxes in microbes by @flamholz from last year is finally out in @PNASNews ! 🥳🥳
Out just in time for my last days @Caltech pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…
Every synthetic biologist, every biochemist, when they dream, will sometimes hear a voice calling A whisper on the wind, as impossible as infinity, as sweet as the ambrosia of the very Gods "Engineer RuBisCo" And this paper takes us one step closer nature.com/articles/s4158…
Reflects a wider neglect of pedestrian life throughout @PasadenaGov. A true shame for such an intrinsically walkable spot with so many families and young children. Transformative change could be achieved with simple adjustments, eg more time to cross the street @PasadenaCSC

really pleased to be moving HOME to an NYC with CONGESTION PRICING, even if the price is too low

A warm welcome to Rockefeller, Avi! Avi Flamholz's lab will focus on the role of soil microbes in the carbon cycle, with the goal of unlocking new ways to harness the power of microbes to slow down or reverse rising global temperatures. rockefeller.edu/news/36919-new…
Please help me amplify a special faculty search. We're looking for someone in "Microbial Systems Biology" to join me and @kimreynolds_lab at UT Southwestern Systems Bio / Bioinformatics. There is an empty lab space right next to us waiting for you! apply.interfolio.com/154339 1/4
Our paper describing the discovery of proteins that make pyrenoid-traversing membranes is finally out! nature.com/articles/s4147…
The Lawrence Lab website (lawrence-lab.org) is live and we are hiring! We combine high resolution structure🔬 and cell biology🧫🧪 approaches to define mechanisms of stress response signaling in health and disease. Live postings at technician and postdoc levels: PLZ RT!
dear micro twitter -- anyone have experience with biotek H1 plate readers + gas control? positive? making purchases here @WeTheBarEvenLab @NicoC_MicSynBio @erblabs @WoolstonLabNEU and others
🚨 Our stellar postdoc (w/ Stolper Lab) @GroppJonathan posted his first preprint! His work resolves a long-standing conundrum in the field of geobiology by showing how the biochemistry of methanogenesis impacts the isotope composition of biogenic methane! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
what's the right venue for posting a preprint review? @fraser_lab @mbeisen and others?
quick advertisement for the @APSphysics March Meeting 2025, abstract submissions are due *very soon* this Friday October 25. we had a great showing of microbial eco evo last year, please consider submitting an abstract to one of the sessions (my favourite: Evolutionary Dynamics)
"The central idea [of physics is] that the world is understandable, that you should be able to take anything apart, understand the relationships between its constituents, do experiments, and on that basis be able to develop a quantitative understanding of its behavior." [1/2]
