Happy to present our latest pre-print by @icvaraA @hadiastri_k @Lakshya3141 in collaboration with @PradyumnaVH @mkjolly15 describing our efforts of combining CRISPRi and CRISPRa in the same synthetic circuit. Feedback welcome! @DMF_UNIL

[Roberto Avendaño @BobbyAV]

First time at #SEED2023 in LA. Today we had a great ELM session in the morning! Pass by my poster (66C) and say hi! on Thursday to know about ELM + patterning! See you there! #syntheticbiology

Just published 5 days ago: the secret behind Río Celeste's sky-blue color revealed. We discovered that microorganisms play a key role in creating hydroxyaluminosilicate colloids. Check out the cool SEM image of these diatoms. #RioCeleste #Microbiology #Microbiome #CostaRica

[Microbiome @MicrobiomeJ]

Out of the blue: the independent activity of sulfur-oxidizers and diatoms mediate the sudden color shift of a tropical river https://t.co/rAInXlItXH

I am happy to share a paper that just came out from my previous lab on historical documents (some from the year 1539) and found out how to protect them! Here is a picture of some of us with the Act of Independence of Costa Rica when we did the sampling in 2019

[Diego Rojas-Gätjens @GatjensDiego]

Finally, out in @PLOSONE ! Which fungi are responsible for the biodeterioration of historic documents? Check out our latest paper from
@MaxChavarriaV lab.
