@BioSteDonati Exciting work - looking forward to reading! Ever applied it to Clostridia?

[Mo Khalil @MoKhalilLab]

We traveled to DC to talk to Congressional Staffers about the impact of @NIH @NIBIBgov funding. It enables us to develop synthetic biology tools to advance cell & genetic medicines for patients in need. REPOST to deliver the message that SCIENCE saves lives & makes America great!

Super proud of William for winning a poster award at #ME16! #proudpi @ChEnected.@NU_ChemE

[Michael C. Jewett @MichaelCJewett]

Join us this year at #SEED to discuss recent innovations in synthetic biology and biomanufacturing. The technical program is online.

Just out in ACS SynBio, our work developing a biosensor for hydrogen sulfide, a molecule with links to IBD whose volatility and reactivity make quantifying it difficult. https://t.co/QWEZOXDEzr. Ultimately we hope this could be used as a non-invasive early diagnostic

[NIH @NIH]

Today, NIH announced a new initiative to expand innovative, human-based science while reducing the use of animals in research. This aligns with @US_FDA’s initiative to reduce testing in animals. https://t.co/i4QH6FwqlC

New pre-print: https://t.co/ZiVBLGMuoF

In collaboration with @MoKhalilLab, we develop AnEVO, a version of eVOLVER for benchtop anaerobic work and gas fermentation, and use it to study co-metabolism in E. limosum. Included parts list makes it easy to duplicate in your own lab!

[Woolston Lab @WoolstonLabNEU]

@flamholz Our pre-print detailing adapting eVOLVER for anaerobic work and for gas fermentation is now online. Includes a full parts list if you're interested in duplicating: https://t.co/ZiVBLGMuoF

[Woolston Lab @WoolstonLabNEU]

@flamholz I second the BioTek recommendations. eVOLVER is great if you need higher volumes or continuous culture

Indirect costs are not free money for the university. What policy makers, tech bros, and many university faculty don’t understand about the cost of research and indirect costs. 🧵(1/n)

[Woolston Lab @WoolstonLabNEU]

@MarkBlenner @Moon_Synth_Bio We have a session on Metabolic Engineering for Space Applications at SBFC. Send us your abstracts, and join us in Milwaukee! @SIMB_Microbio

[Woolston Lab @WoolstonLabNEU]

We are hiring! If you (or someone you know) is looking for a PostDoc position focused on Clostridial genetics with broad applications, please check out our position: https://t.co/zxCrtQmKg8 Come and join us in the vibrant science town of Boston!

[Woolston Lab @WoolstonLabNEU]

@sikeslab I keep thinking about signing up. Your tweet might push me over the brink

[Simon Duerr @simonduerr]

This is great! @NIAIDNews have launched a collection of public domain illustrations (currently 550 individual icons) https://t.co/qYzIsbr0TH

Congrats Joey! @CotruvoLab

[Squire J. Booker @BookerMan_PSU]

Congratulations @CotruvoLab !! well deserved!!

[Woolston Lab @WoolstonLabNEU]

@14Kountz Not sure if this helps, but we all feel this way sometimes.

[Josh Atkinson @meeeeechigan]

Calling all Synthetic Biologists!

Everyone attending #AIChE annual is encouraged to apply! #WICisYOU

[Woolston Lab @WoolstonLabNEU]

Excited to expand our efforts to domesticate Clostridia, with support from #NSF, and awesome collaborators @SandovalCBE and Aimee Shen. Actively looking for a postdoc interested in pioneering new ways to genetically engineer non-model microbes. https://t.co/b64vd2F6KE @NU_ChemE

@14Kountz If you send me a file, I can try to get it printed tomorrow morning before I drive up
