Happy to add another journal cover to my portfolio, but mostly excited for everyone to read about @GinaPartipilo’s creative application of microfluidics for rapid screening of electroactive bacteria
⚡️An electrifying start to the New Year! Check out the January issue of AEM, featuring a dynamic cover by artist Ismar Miniel. @TexasCHE and @ut_caee researchers describe the use of microdroplet emulsion sorting to identify new electroactive bacteria⚡️

We thrilled to share our latest work in @NatureComms, led by @TrevorRSimmons, in which we rewired CsrA to build designer post-transcriptional genetic circuits. Our approach supports the idea of co-opting native networks for complex bacterial computation. https://t.co/qSC2WkxF9u
We are excited to share our latest preprint, led by @matsuri_rojano & @TrevorRSimmons, in which we identify concentration dependent regulation of CsrA on a novel mRNA target and repurpose this interaction to build a genetic BANDPASS Filter. https://t.co/j2wGfAI4nK #WhatStartsHere
So surreal to see my image on the cover of Nature Chemical Biology! Shoutout to @GinaPartipilo and @austinjgraham for leading a great project and all of the @KeitzLab members who made it possible. #sciart
Our October issue is live!

The cover depicts an engineered living material with controllable mechanical properties: Bacteria (orange) embedded in a hydrogel are programmed to control the expression of MtrC which regulates microbial respiration
Today's render stays with the #Olympic2024 theme and is featuring precious metals: a RNA duplex containing C-Au-C base pair.
Structure: pdb 7EDU
Rendered with @Blender#sciart#gold
Speed-run through styling a protein in @Blender
It contains quite a bit of trial and error, but this is how designing works for me. I have a vision in mind, but the final outcome is often quite different 😅

I forgot to mention also - you can install from within Blender. No more need to download anything externall. Download and update from within Blender 4.2
I have been working like absolute crazy over the past two months for this - #MolecularNodes 4.2 is now released for #b3d 4.2
A huge number of new features - which I will cover some here.
- Selections using @mdanalysis selection language are updated live.
Our #WeekendReading suggestion for you today is this Review article:
Advances of Bacterial Biomaterials for Disease Therapy ➡️ https://t.co/td0iBB0oWP
Thanks to Lin Zhai, Laiying Fu, Wei Wei, and Diwei Zheng for their insightful work!
#biomaterials#metabolicengineering
Just released a new #MolecularNodes version. A bunch of bug fixes, but two new features after multiple requests in some recent workshops.
- Panel to download from the #AlphaFold database
- Quickly change styles by right clicking

We're so excited to see @AustinJGraham and @GinaPartipilo 's work published!
Transcriptional regulation of living materials via extracellular electron transfer.
