What do sharks, trees, and biofuels have in common? 🦈🌿⚡️
This #SharkWeek it's the exciting research of MSU's @BjoernHamberger, whose lab has engineered poplars to produce a high value chemical compound typically harvested from sharks!

Research in Biological and Physical Sciences in Space (BPS) has enabled the U.S. to be a trailblazer for #SpaceExploration, while sparking technological advances to help society. Learn about priorities for the next decade of BPS research: https://t.co/uz5CnrKtOz
Imagine using mushrooms 🍄 to stay cool - New research from @JohnsHopkins University microbiologist Dr. @radajbcordero, found that mushrooms and other fungi stay cooler than their surroundings. Check out this article by @epennisi on @ScienceMagazine here: https://t.co/mR9kAHRRhg
Let's talk about radiotrophic fungi.
I want to start with the most surprising fact about them: they don't just SURVIVE in high radiation environments, they grow at *FOUR TIMES* the rate they would in background radiation.
Our best guess is they're "eating" radiation.

One small bell, one giant moment for bioworkers.
If we can rewrite the DNA of organisms, what will we do with the power we have to write the future of biology?
Ginkgo's bioworkers built this platform, and they're building it for everyone, so we can write that future together.
Congratulation to our fantastic grad students who won the best poster & presentation award at the PSNA 2021 meeting!. Fantastic research from our young scientists!!

I repeat- I haven’t been this excited about a discovery since CRISPR. We found something enigmatic that, like CRISPR, is associated with microbial genomes. We have named these unique entities #BORGs
