When we said “We fight for PhDs and PhD careers” we meant “We exploit PhDs during their most anxious and vulnerable moments into forking over thousands of dollars they don’t have for services they don’t want”. Oops!

Please RT: BioSciences at Rice University invites applications for three tenure-track, assistant professor positions in the areas of synthetic biology, biophysics, and neuroscience. The link for the application can be found here: https://t.co/b3N7C4ZiJw

Reflecting on AlphaFold 2. It's a strange system. It's not an explanation of protein structure, nor a theory of protein structure

And yet... there is a sense in which it (& successor systems) capture much (not all) of our best understanding of protein structure

@drksolomon Congratulations!!

The questions I get most often from PhD students are about what’s is like working in biotech. So, here are some of my observations on the industry that I wish I’d known in grad school (Note that everyone’s experience is different, so YMMV). #biotech #career (1/)

@CaliforniaDFW I'm also curious about the answer to @shellioop's question. When is it safe to put feeders back up? Thank you!

As a former #SynBio grad student who struggled to explain what I did ("Well, we don't only study biology, we try to engineer it. To help make stuff. Hopefully good stuff.") I love the clarity of this video from @Zymergen's #marketing team on what we do #WeMakeTomorrow

[Zymergen @Zymergen]

Nature is our inspiration and our manufacturing partner, enabling us to make better products a better way.

Watch how #WeMakeTomorrow
