Switch is excited to welcome Scott Sisemore & Russell Brown! Scott was most recently running fermentations at Zero Acre Farms & Russell has spent over 6 years in microbial discovery and nitrogen biofertilizer development.
It was great to be at @EmCollective#ECDemoDay2023 to share the work we are doing to feed the world #sustainably. Listen as our CEO, Tim Schnabel (@ScienceSchnabel), explains how starting small🦠can have a huge impact🌏: https://t.co/oDOvxucouL
Switch is excited to welcome @HsiaoHanLin1! Originally from Taiwan, Hsiao-Han worked on plant & microbial biology @BerkeleyLab, @IPMBSinica &
National Taiwan University. At Switch she is looking to leverage her expertise to build products that improve #SustainableAgriculture🌱🌏
Join us today at @EmCollective’s #ClimateScienceFair on the High Line in NYC for a showcase of innovation and optimism. We’re discussing how to consider climate change through a lens of possibility with special guest @BillNye at 2pm.
We're excited to welcome Kate Escobar to Switch! She has a Bachelor's in Biotechnology and is currently pursuing a Master's in Bioinformatics at the the University of Copenhagen. Kate is joining us as part of Denmark's BioInnovation Institute scholarship program, @DenmarkinSV.
We're excited to welcome Belle Aduaka to the Switchforce as our newest lab tech!🎉 She studied microbiology at @CalPoly and is passionate about using #microbes to help people all around the world with food security and #sustainable agriculture. 🦠🌱
Today @SwitchBioworks welcomes its first intern cohort. We're excited to work with & learn from Biki Kundu (@RiceU), Anthony Wright (@UCLA ), & Lia Zhu (@UCBerkeley). Thank you @EmCollective & @collegetrack for supporting part of our cohort through their FirstGen Intern Program!
Jake Naruszewicz is joining us from @RutgersU biotechnology and also brings experience in fermentation operations from Amyris. 🦠🌱
Alexis and Jake are excited to learn all the ins and outs of a biotech #startup and contribute to the #sustainable biofertilizer field!
Today @SwitchBioworks is onboarding the two best lab techs in the world! 🎉
Alexis Chun recently graduated from @LoyolaMarymount where she studied plant-microbe interactions and was awarded for her academic excellence, leadership, and service in the Biology department. 🌱🦠
Switch is at @SynBioBeta this week, the pulse of synthetic biology. It’s more than science, it’s a movement. And to build it, we need to bring together everyone from artists to astronauts. "This present moment used to be the unimaginable future!" The bioeconomy is booming 🧬🦠🌱
Today @SwitchBioworks welcomes Deepa Kurpad as a scientist to our Microbial Discovery team! Deepa brings 15 years of diverse biotechnology expertise and is excited to switch on to our mission of feeding the world sustainably. 🌱
💯 agree with @VP that investments today "have the potential to turn the challenges we face into great opportunities that will have generational and global impact." Leveraging #biotech for ag empowers #Africans, creates highly skilled #Jobs, and fosters agricultural independence.
Tune in as I convene African, American, and global business and philanthropic leaders in Zambia to discuss digital inclusion on the continent of Africa and public and private sector investments. https://t.co/bnmvxZNgKP
Proud to be part of the $7 billion @VP@KamalaHarris secured with our expanded commitment to build custom biofertilizers for #African soils with #African partners. Fertilizer is the foundation of modern ag. Producing it differently - with #biotech - is #affordable & #sustainable.
Addressing the climate crisis is a global challenge.
I am proud to have secured $7 billion in private sector commitments that will support climate resilience, adaptation, and mitigation across the continent of Africa.
Thrilled to join @VP and @HHichilema in Zambia today as we build partnerships between the US and African nations to promote climate resilience through #sustainable#agriculture! 🇿🇲🇺🇸🌽🌍
We had a great time meeting leaders in sustainable agriculture at the @WorldAgriTech Innovation Summit this week and pitching @SwitchBioworks's approach to biofertilizer during the start-up showcase on the main stage! Together we can build a sustainable future! 🎉🧬🦠🌱
