A synthetic biology informal education context, spun-off from @CoderDojoTM, dedicated to Timisoara high-school kids!

[BioCoderDojo Timisoara @BiocoderdojoT]

@EvolvedBiofilm Enjoy!

So close to Timisoara/Temesvar! Do you plan to meet and inspire the current students of your high school?

[BioCoderDojo Timisoara @BiocoderdojoT]

@ProfTomEllis Still, very good chances to perform its initially planned function! :)

[BioCoderDojo Timisoara @BiocoderdojoT]

We'll run #NewGen #LabBuilders project Apr-Nov '26: high-school kids will build #frugal life science lab equipment to constitute mobile sets to "travel" to interested Timisoara high schools, using global #opensource resources.

Any recommendation?

A reminder that applications close Friday, Feb 27 for the Arc AIxBio Fellows Program.

Undergrads: propose and run your own AI + biology research project over 6–12 months, with mentorship from Arc scientists. Apply solo or as a team of 2–3.

AlphaGenome is our latest & most advanced genomics model published in @Nature today including making the model & weights available to academic researchers. Can��t wait to see what the research community will do with it. Congrats to the team on our newest front cover! #AI4Science

Europe, what's your take on this? :)

Balaji Srinivasan proposes a western version of the special economic zone where builders can operate at the speed of physics, not permits.

“The special Elon zone, or more generally, the special founder zone... It’s like an essentially uninhibited territory, as close to Burning Man as possible”

Ben Horowitz: “I think that’s very doable. There’s so many states in the US that would wanna do that. I know Nevada would wanna do that.”

If you are an AI safety researcher, book a flight ticket to Tokyo now and watch the "AI dog in chain" art exhibition. Our pre-training data is evolution and mostly physical intelligence. It's the best way to witness and ponder on the meaning of AI safety.

Great opportunity to learn and connect with people interested in life science field!

[Radu Ticiu 🧬 @RaduTiciu]

Intense next week with 4 seminars on various aspects of #bioeconomy/#biotech/#synbio organized by the Faculty of Chemical Engineering, Biotechnology and Environmental Protection of @UPTimisoara w/@SteBiotech of @unimib .

Looking forward to be there with @BiocoderdojoT ninjas!

@jrkelly The fine print should blink! :)

I’m excited to announce that the application for the 2026 edition of our @medialab and global synthetic biology course “How to Grow (Almost) Anything” is now open! Application link in thread 👇

@Curlh1 @jarrodwatts Prize? ;)

[BioCoderDojo Timisoara @BiocoderdojoT]

@simonmaechling Let there be sax! And science! And well informed people!

OK, what are you planning to learn/do today?

[Ali Max Erturk @erturklab]

Congratulations to our scientist, Laurent Simons, for earning his PhD in quantum physics at just 15—an exceptional achievement.
In our lab, Laurent’s work focuses on in silico biology to accelerate treatment of devastating diseases. We’re thrilled to have him on the team.

[BioCoderDojo Timisoara @BiocoderdojoT]

@SynBio1 Yes! ...and until defending us of unruly robots they can work without special isolating equipment for maintaining of high voltage electric lines!

Biotech is the industry with the lowest success rate unfortunately, but at the same time trying to solve the problems that are worth solving the most.

@ATinyGreenCell You are infected with an appreciable dose of patience, @ATinyGreenCell :)

@avimakesrobots @josiezayner Probably the velocity of a hypothetical ”animal flavored fruit” creation process cannot get to sensible results in 2026... :)

@SynBio1 @koeng101 The Serious Twitter is back! :)

@AdrianoAguzzi Part of the naturalization examination??? :)
