We’ve just posted a BioRxiv preprint of our latest engineered living materials work - this one is a modular cloning toolkit for cellulose-producing bacteria. Not sent this to a journal yet so keen to get any feedback in the next few weeks. https://t.co/JLKQ2csHDO

Taking the sting out: Australian #geneediting is crossing the pain threshold.
A Sydney team has developed a box jellyfish antidote so simple it can go on as a spray. But it’s only the first step https://t.co/KqJY52zWWi @naamanzhou @GuardianAus #CRISPR
