Molecules, microcode, and high-speed pizza delivery. Building cells for the future of bioengineering. Endy Lab at Stanford; Queenstown at heart.

[0/5] Excited to share my PhD thesis work, a result of an incredible five years of interloping between #systemsbiology and #colloidalphysics!

@cgoodwin23 Pretty sure you could buy and relocate an actual Ibis

@hollyherndon What about currents? https://t.co/q79niX1cgt

[Anton Jackson-Smith @ajacksonsmith]

@DocDre They also realize that sometime in the academic exercise you need to do deep work, right?

If you want to make six figures overnight have you ever tried being a grad student???

I want every little girl — every child, really — out there to know this is what a venture-backed CEO negotiating for tens of million of dollars looks like.

@Chipper408 Stanford Healthcare has a lot of appointments available; anyone who's otherwise eligible in Santa Clara can go through them.

“In what may be the most comprehensive evaluation of the environment in Australia, we show major and iconic ecosystems are collapsing across the continent. These systems sustain life and their demise shows we’re exceeding planetary boundaries.” (1/x) https://t.co/zteFFyLzLH

@AmyTarangelo Notion is great.

The Israel data from ~597,000 vaccinated matched w/ same N of unvaccinated individuals is published @NEJM today, providing extraordinary real world evidence of preventing infections, hospitalizations and deaths

@draparente @KipnissNathan Students that have access to lots of testing and other protective measures as well. Don’t even start on the professors that are WFH.

@HoneyBeeGeek @rethink_x @motiffoodworks They’re a strong partner. From what I remember one of the hardest parts of lab milk is the process pipeline that puts the protein, fat, sugar components together into milk

[Anton Jackson-Smith @ajacksonsmith]

@HoneyBeeGeek @rethink_x @motiffoodworks If nothing else it's an eminently sensible hedge position. Bulk milk solids alone will eventually be decimated by this. Possible avenue for lower-volume higher-value products that trade on tradition, though.

[Anton Jackson-Smith @ajacksonsmith]

@HoneyBeeGeek @rethink_x As well as @motiffoodworks? Either way it’s a smart move.

[Anton Jackson-Smith @ajacksonsmith]

@HoneyBeeGeek @rethink_x We have world-class universities with strong bio programs, right next to people with the best on the ground knowledge of ag genetics, products, and marketing. Why aren't we leading the way on this kind of technology?

[Anton Jackson-Smith @ajacksonsmith]

@HoneyBeeGeek @rethink_x Also any kind of carbon pricing starts to make molecular agriculture products increasingly price competitive.

@Austen Never argue with someone who owns the platform.

[Anton Jackson-Smith @ajacksonsmith]

Welcome, to the real world.

[Anton Jackson-Smith @ajacksonsmith]

@PhDForum That said, it’s tricky if you want to finish the project and the money isn’t there. Talk to your department about teaching opportunities and other funding, and your institution might also have other emergency funding measures you can apply for.

[Anton Jackson-Smith @ajacksonsmith]

@PhDForum No, it’s not normal and doing so is a reflection of one of the many problems of academia. It was your advisor’s job to plan, budget and fund the project appropriately--you are not to blame.
