@AllisonLopatkin Did you hear directly from NSF?

[Anne S. Meyer @meyer_roc]

@AllisonLopatkin I have one in Math (DMS) and two in TIP

[Anne S. Meyer @meyer_roc]

@AllisonLopatkin @NSF Wow, that is amazing and so well deserved!

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!

I'm trying something new: A (possibly) daily blog about biology and engineering.

I'd like to see whether I can emulate Derek Lowe for, say, one month.

My first post is about bacteria that were engineered to act as microlenses, focusing beams of photons.

@NikoMcCarty Thanks for highlighting my lab's new engineered bacterial microlenses for your inaugural post! I think a biology/engineering blog sounds really exciting.

@barbara_synbio What is your username on Bluesky? A ton of new scientists have joined in the past week or so - actually starting to feel a little like Twitter did in the old days

We’re thrilled to share the results from the 2024 Jamboree —Team CyanoVolt won a gold medal! A huge thank you to our amazing advisers, sponsors, and everyone who supported us along the way! None of this would have been possible without you!

@GraingerLab @mulecc Cool findings!

[Anne S. Meyer @meyer_roc]

@darren_lipomi But at what cost?!

[Cultivarium @CultivariumFRX]

Delighted to support iGEM Rochester's CyanoPrint project that tackles climate change! Using modified cyanobacteria like Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803, they're creating a bio-photovoltaic cell to sequester CO2 and generate green energy. #iGEM2024 #synbio @ur_igem

I’ve been waiting for this talk all conference #SEED2024 - Anne Meyer from Rochester engineering E.coli grow glass lenses that focus light. A brilliant example of ELMs research.

[Anne S. Meyer @meyer_roc]

@darren_lipomi I loved the description of making Ice IX in Cats Cradle because it was so easy to make, plus a potent reminder of the importance of lab safety.

[Anne S. Meyer @meyer_roc]

@AllisonLopatkin @pewhealth So exciting! 🎉🎉

[Anne S. Meyer @meyer_roc]

@stefcestellos The nano jet is always traveling the same direction as the illuminating light.

[Anne S. Meyer @meyer_roc]

Our preprint on engineered bacterial microlenses is out! We engineered bacteria to display sea sponge enzymes on their outer membranes. These bacteria can self-assemble a bioglass coating around themselves, and focus light into bright, photonic nanojets.
