We use evolution experiments to understand the genetics of adaptation and engineer microbial evolvability. #synbioevolves #breseq

Thanks for the opportunity to chat about my lab's work and my career path in science! This podcast series is awesome. @ut_mbs @TexasScience @CSSBatUT @BEACON_Center

[EBRC @EngBioRC]

March is here and Episode 2 of the In Translation podcast is live! In the episode, SPA members @kathryn_brink and @fatimaenam17 interview Professor Jeff Barrick @barricklab from @UTAustin. Check it out! https://t.co/NFRwb7cciN #engbio

[Jeffrey Barrick @barricklab]

Applications are now open for the 2023 Stengl-Wyer Scholar program at UT Austin. If you are a recent PhD or will graduate soon and have independent ideas for research related to the diversity of life, this is a great opportunity! @mbs @TexasScience

#LTEE 77K Update: Detected some hiccups and corrected them. We’re planning to regularly use whole-genome sequencing to monitor the integrity of the populations moving forward.

#FeaturedProtocol this week: FUGUES (#FUnctionalGenomics Using Engineered #Symbionts); studying the biology of #honeybees utilizing an engineered bee gut bacterium to induce a sustained #RNAi response in the host https://t.co/Gi8ax8RKFM @barricklab @TexasScience and @spleonard1

[NaturalSciences @ UT @TexasScience]

🎉Congrats to the @UT_iGEM team for winning the Best Foundational Advance award at the @iGEM Grand Jamboree, for a new rapid test for a deadly disease in bats.🦇 They were also the only top 10 overall undergraduate team from the U.S. https://t.co/7bhXoldMzY @barricklab @ut_mbs

Congratulations to the 2022 @UT_iGEM team for winning the the Best Foundational Advance award at the iGEM Grand Jamboree! They were also a top 10 overall undergraduate team, finalists for Best Presentation and Best Part Collection, and awarded a Gold Medal. @ut_mbs @TexasScience

[iGEM @iGEM]

Congrats to the teams from Freiburg and Austin!

[Jeffrey Barrick @barricklab]

@jlerman44 Yes, and the "L" adds in an aspect of "Planning". I don't remember how we can up with the name, but maybe @matt_mcguffie does?

[Jeffrey Barrick @barricklab]

Thanks to Thomas, Flora, Ivan, and everyone else in the TIMC lab for hosting me in Grenoble and sharing so much exciting science. Looking forward to future collaborations and exchanges!

[Dr. Audrey Le Gouellec @alegouellec]

It was wonderful to have Jeff @barricklab in our lab this week. Very fruitful exchanges concerning the in vitro evolution experiment of E.coli over 75000 generations (#LTEE) started by @RELenski. A unique way to understand the mechanisms of genetic and metabolic evolution of bact

[Li，Zheng 李峥 @LiZheng_Arizona]

Wonderful to see our Glassy-Winged Sharpshooter and brochosome on the cover of @MolBioEvol ! A really fun project with @NancyMoran15 @barricklab @yy_yiyuan_li @vyqtdang Allen Xue, Renee Holmes and Spencer Johnston! Also thanks to our talented artist Jason Zhu for this drawing!

[Jeffrey Barrick @barricklab]

@bladevine @UTAustin @iGEM Great coverage of the @UT_iGEM project this year! See https://t.co/CmJSyKK43j for more updates as they finish their project in the next few weeks. @TexasScience and @ut_mbs

[Blake DeVine @bladevine]

A group of students from @UTAustin are taking part in an international biology competition known as @iGEM. This year, the team of 12 undergrads are trying to protect Austin's beloved bat🦇population.

[Jeffrey Barrick @barricklab]

The UT Austin iGEM team has a fantastic project this year! You can support these students through the 40for40: https://t.co/T7uNmfYo0P; and learn more about their project as they complete their website here in the next couple of weeks: https://t.co/CmJSyKK43j

[Jeffrey Barrick @barricklab]

Fantastic opportunity at UT for independent postdocs. Please spread the word.

[Integrative Biology @texas_IB]

Applications for the Stengl-Wyer Scholars program are open! It provides up to three years of support for talented #postdoctoral researchers in the broad area of the diversity of life and/or organisms in their natural environments. https://t.co/bVZIax3wLZ

[Jeffrey Barrick @barricklab]

Congratulations to Kate Elston for defending her PhD thesis on insect symbiont engineering yesterday!

[Jeffrey Barrick @barricklab]

This week Emmanuel Chavarria and Isaac Gifford performed their first #LTEE transfers. Isaac will be coming in to keep the E. coli evolving on the July 4th holiday.

[NaturalSciences @ UT @TexasScience]

The world’s longest evolution experiment is now in Austin!
On Tuesday, Jeff Barrick thawed 12 strains of E. coli that have evolved for 75,000 generations—that’s equivalent to 1.5 million yrs of human evolution. We can’t wait to see what surprises & discoveries are in store! #LTEE

[Jeffrey Barrick @barricklab]

We revived the E. coli #LTEE populations on Tuesday, June 21st, to continue evolving them at UT Austin. 75,000 generations++ Photos and more info in this post. https://t.co/H8bJA4Rl1v @RELenski
