Jens Nielsen’s interesting keynote on the differences between innovating and getting funding in pharma vs synbio -
Great summary of how the University model has evolved from education to innovation and fantasist work from @BioCPH#symbitech
Excellent discussion about transitioning from science to entrepreneurship - cash flows, product definition and lots of interesting lessons learnt by the excellent teams at @labgeni_us , Colorix, @multusmedia , and Modern Synthesis
Super excited to join #SynbiTECH today, and what a better start than to listen to Patrick Vallance open the conference. Very thoughtful opening about measuring our success by the benefits that our children and our children’s childrens will see off the back of thriving EngBio!
Call for full proposals for our programme on synthetic chromosomes and chloroplast is officially out.
I want to stress to everyone in my network that this is open to all, whether they submitted an expression of interest or not!
Super excited about this - see details in thread:
A reminder to all my friends in plant science and synbio that the deadline for short proposals for our programme on synthetic plants is tomorrow at noon.
Over £62m to develop synthetic genomic units in agronomical crops.
All are welcome to apply here: https://t.co/L4xTv4q2wx
To anyone in my network who might be interested - one week left to submit your concept papers (short proposals) for our Synthetic Plants Programme. See below for more info - we look forward to reading your submissions!
⌛ One week left to submit your concept paper for our Synthetic Plants programme!
Read the call for proposals + apply by Wednesday 25 September [12:00 BST]: https://t.co/jidrRj80Hb
My team at Gardin Agritech is growing (pun intended) -
This is a great opportunity to join us really early on and work in a collaborative environment where you will apply your biology knowledge whilst learning about software, hardware, computer vision and machine learning!
Come and be part of a team striving to deliver amazing solutions and value to our growers.

@Edwige_M@slcuplants@OttolineLeyser I could not have wished for a more pleasant and stimulating discussion 🙂 Thank you so much Edwige for a fantastic end to this journey 🎉🎉🎉
Connective auxin transport contributes to strigolactone-mediated shoot branching control independent of the transcription factor BRC1: a new paper from Leyser Lab members past and present Martin van Rongen, @ThisSunOfYork and @f_ticchiarelli https://t.co/yafN2kKj6o
Maybe i am retweeting this because of my long lasting interest and deep understanding of mouse enbryology, or MAYBE because @omnislip is my fantastic flatmate 🔥
go check out his new paper and ask him, as i am doing, whether they actually found something new 😈
I'm delighted to let you know that our scRNA-seq mouse embryo atlas paper is out in @Nature today! https://t.co/aJOLnw9L9u
Why does this matter to you, though? Here are three reasons: 1/4
What we're reading https://t.co/qdnDWnTqKG
This week we highlight: structural motifs in strigolactone signaling, puppetmaster protists (!), lessons from natural CO2 springs, rapid abiotic signaling, synthetic O2 sensors, plasmodesmatal conductance in nodule formation and more!
