As we work towards DNA-free circuits, we realized we could use some new RNA sensors in living cells. So we built RADAR https://t.co/YRpPb7tar3 Congrats to Eerik, @katznoa1, @NatalieSKolber, @claytoncalli, and thanks to our plant biologist neighbors, Diego, Will, and @Sattely_lab

[Ronghui (Ron) Zhu @RonZhu2015]

Thrilled to see our work live on Science. On top of preprint, we further included analysis on scaling, switching and asymmetry. Also check out the fun MultiFate Tshirt by @ElowitzLab & gorgeous cover art by @Wonderstrucksci. Congrats team! @jesusdelrio_7 @jgojalvo @ElowitzLab

What does it take to generate and control multiple cell states? To find out, we designed and built "MultiFate", a synthetic circuit that generates multistability in mammalian cells. https://t.co/BPh7NKl5oH. Work from brilliant student @RonZhu2015 w/ @jesusdelrio_7 and @jgojalvo.

We spent the past year building Primordium Labs. Our first product, rapid whole-plasmid and long-PCR sequencing, aims to make full-plasmid sequencing as routine as a miniprep.

Bonus: NO SEQUENCING PRIMERS NEEDED.

@GraceKC @ElowitzLab Same old here. Miss you all!

How can you reconstruct the lineage history of an organism without disrupting tissue organization? Introducing intMEMOIR - An optical lineage reconstruction technology developed as a collaboration with @GraceKC, @ElowitzLab, Alejandro Granados, Carlos Lois, and more. 1/

One of the best pieces of advice I ever got, delivered by a wise person while I was fuming over a parking ticket:

"3% of your income is for mistakes. If it's too much over, you're too sloppy. If it's too much under, you're sweating the smalls stuff too much."

Please help RT! Zhou lab at @BostonChildrens and @harvardmed is looking for a Research Assistant / lab tech, to help us study how immune cells talk to other cell types and their microenvironment. Please apply here https://t.co/MrmZuF0F17

TODAY IS THE DAY! I’m unbelievably excited to announce that today I start leading a group @Caltech to apply synthetic biology circuits for human therapies w/ @elowitzlab. And we are hiring.

@eperlste @srikosuri @neurowitz @JeffreyLowMD @davidrliu @ArpeggioBio I should have been more precise - there does seem to be a big difference (though perhaps a historical one rather than a necessary one) in co. formation routes between companies developing their own drugs and those providing valuable enabling technologies/services to the former.

[Joe Markson @P32jm]

@srikosuri @eperlste @neurowitz @JeffreyLowMD @davidrliu Diagnostics and life sciences tools are definitely different beasts than therapeutics-focused companies (those focused on developing their own drugs and bringing them to the clinic themselves)

@markwbudde Could be that the N95s weren’t tightly fitted and so the wearing was breathing a meaningful fraction of completely unfiltered air.

@VPrasadMDMPH While your claim re school reopening may be correct, the argument is fundamentally poisoned by the opening line “Any claims to the contrary are demoralizing...” Apparently only your view is permissible, and there can be no dialog. This is not becoming of an Associate Professor.

[Joe Markson @P32jm]

@mukherjilab With the OKOs, we had problems with temperature uniformity and evaporation/condensation in long-term (multi-day) experiments in plastic multi-well plates. Root cause was probably that the bottom of the plate is exposed to room temperature - might affect all stage top incubators

@latimes So they’re being used for checking in for your flight at the airline ticket counter, before security, even though TSA does not normally do this? Or the scanners are being used at the security checkpoint?

[Joe Markson @P32jm]

@latimes Any plans to correct this tweet? Contains a glaring error, like so many other LA Times tweets
