I would have loved to be the one Spanish speaking person, giggling in the back of the room, when they named the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO)

🚨New paper alert
We report advances at the intersection of metabolic engineering & genetic code expansion that allow a bacterium to create and harness a nitrated amino acid on its own

#Synbio is getting scary

It may look like everyone is having fun, but it’s really the one dog outhustling all the others

This MIT alum-founded company is developing a microbial treatment for eczema that balances the skin’s microbiome https://t.co/R6RMKKzMbv

@NikoMcCarty That would be one ginormous usps truck. Roughly a football stadium sized truck flying by your house at a crazy speed. (P.S. was it Bell’s or Bartel’s class?)

[Bernardo Cervantes @BernacularBio]

Phenomenal news for the field of microbiome products. This one has felt like a done deal for a while, but it is great to see it done!

Conferences should have an “introvert corner” where we can sit to recharge after those networking coffee breaks. Quietly acknowledging each other with polite smiles that are full of understanding of why we’ve walked into this space.

@erinheejoon @ConcertoBio is hiring :)

[Bernardo Cervantes @BernacularBio]

We did a thing!
Come join us on our quest to solve problems using microbes 🦠

🎺A fanfare for Concerto’s Series A! It heralds our reunion with microbes. It calls us to explore, compose, collaborate. It reverberates toward a future where microbes aren’t problems but solutions. Cheers to the era of microbial ecology-inspired products. https://t.co/n6VzNdhBVv

I'm over the moon that @NIH_CommonFund has given our bacterial vaccine design efforts a major boost. Thank you to the collaborators & mentors who encouraged taking on pressing problems even if risky

Will add as counterpoint to Bernie’s “why Concerto” a theme of “why not Concerto?”

[Bernardo Cervantes @BernacularBio]

Lots of new open positions @ConcertoBio, so I think re-tweeting “why Concerto?” is appropriate 🤓

[Bernardo Cervantes @BernacularBio]

Last week I was asked “why should someone choose to work @Concertobio?” I LOVE THAT QUESTION because I get to tell you why I work at Concerto.

This question happened because we are hiring!
