A nice way to kick off 2022! @matias_kaplan and I wrote a review in @NatureRevGenet diving into RNA engineering, RNA devices, and some exciting advances we've seen lately 🧬

@elemrei @JusticeToshiba @daphmarts @bioCURIOUSlab @HankGreelyLSJU @eco_genome @rayfutia One of the best bio demos I've been a part of was @matias_kaplan making tubes of bacteria produce molecules that smelled like bananas! Very visceral examples #BioTheWhat

@elemrei @JusticeToshiba @daphmarts @bioCURIOUSlab @HankGreelyLSJU @eco_genome @rayfutia Thinking like seeing things grow on a physical scale (i.e. bacterial colonies on plates) or vivid differences that are easy to sense (i.e. colors!)

Maybe going through each of the senses and focusing on what's easy to see, smell, etc.? #biothewhat

@daphmarts @bioCURIOUSlab @HankGreelyLSJU @eco_genome @JusticeToshiba @rayfutia @elemrei @meganjpalmer More funding for direct PhD student support along the lines of NSF/NDSEG! Offers flexibility and independence to choose new and interesting lines of research #biothewhat

Hey Twitterverse 🌎! Let's kick off 🚀 #BioTheWhat -- Our aim with this virtual event is to create a space for dialogue between community members on the topic of just and ethical biotechnology development. Joined here by @JusticeToshiba @bioCURIOUSlab @HankGreelyLSJU and YOU

[Daphne Martschenko, PhD @daphmarts]

Update: We are now also joined by @HankGreelyLSJU -- See our updated flyer. Lucky to have @JusticeToshiba @bioCURIOUSlab and @HankGreelyLSJU in conversation with each other and the Twitterverse!

[Daphne Martschenko, PhD @daphmarts]

My Bio Futures fellowship cohort and other collaborators are hosting a virtual dialogue on Biotechnology. Follow along next Thursday using #biothewhat to join @JusticeToshiba and @bioCURIOUSlab as we tackle some big questions that we want your perspectives on!
