Our preprint on sponge RNAs is finally out! This is an immense body of work led by @ScottBStacey1 showcasing many possible (amazing) applications of this newest tool for bacterial RNA circuits (link in next tweet) 1/10

Looks like there is a new sponge thread in town, now by the key driving force behind the project himself:

Very excited to share that our preprint on synthetic bacterial sponge RNAs is now out. This paper is for you if you’re interested in RNA synthetic biology, quantitative gene circuit characterisation, resource competition, or post-transcriptional regulation. (1/11)

Besides @ScottBStacey1 and yours truly, @antonis_papach , @Harrison_Steel and Marco Corrao have all made vital contributions to the project! Working alongside such brilliant people amazed me on the daily 10/10

…but the full story about Hfq competition turned out to be much weirder than just that! A preprint on that will hopefully be published soon, but for now I will leave you with this cliffhanger. Stay tuned! 9/10

Engineering Quantum Effects in Biology: Our paper is out today, and we think this will be the start of a new challenge in Bioengineering. If you want to start working in this area, get in touch! https://t.co/qEm8x55HPW

People in SynBio are still recovering from my past two conference sketches, so this time I'm traumatising Control Theory researchers instead. Click the link in thread to read the latest humorous report from #CDC2025 by @CSSIEEE in Rio de Janeiro

A piece descirbing my research at @EEBioPG is now out in the latest edition of SoTA Letters!

Come for my extended analogy between fashion and innovation, stay for many brilliant ideas by many people on how we will make the future great

Not sure if that's what @BiochemSoc had in mind when asking us to share our conference experience with the tags #BiochemEvent and #SBUK2025, but here comes my humorous SKETCH of this week's London gathering

In case you wanted to keep up with SynBio news but don't like the weekend read format, you can now classify my sketch as a weekday read instead

Thrilled to have attended this week's iGEM Jamboree - full of amazing teams, brilliant research and indomitable SynBio optimisim

But even if you couldn't come, you can still watch me embarass myself by trying to write it up as a satirical sketch (s*bst*ck link in the next post)
