Airplanes, Microbes, Beers, and Wine...oh my ✈️ // self-proclaimed plane-nerd // WUSTL DBBS alumnus // views my own...sometimes might be influenced by microbes
I saw it firsthand at the #Lindau2025 Nobel Laureates meeting--international young scientists welcomed and recruited in Germany and elsewhere. Some of the very best are leaving, and many of the best will no longer come.

Check out this blog post about my lab's new technology where we engineered bacteria to mineralize a glass coating around themselves, which allows them to focus light like tiny microlenses!

Another story in four parts. You can surface sterilize used soda bottles and they make GREAT baffle flasks for microbial protein production. Two orders of magnitude in savings and minimal effort to sterilize with dilute bleach + distilled water rinse. RFP in various volumes @ 37C
🚨My department here in London 🇬🇧 has an open faculty position in at any level, looking for a PI in food-related bioengineering and synthetic biology. This is a really exciting opportunity that closes on Sept 22. DM me if you want to apply! Please RT 🔁

@RobynBarbato I normally grow the culture to stationary phase (O/N for E. coli) then dilute 1:1,000 fold into fresh media to get very low OD culture. That way, you get the full growth phases of lag, log, and stationary.
@BrunLabCaulo@DevBioStanford Thanks for sharing! I am amazed that you received so many rejections for how great of a scientist you are. Those schools definitely did not know what fortunate they had missed and let the big one slipped away.
