@devcayer @shelbynewsad Do you mean something more like unit operations from industrial processes? Ie, each device in a chain is specialised for doing one thing very well, instead of something like the big tip based liquid handlers that are expensive and slow? I've been thinking along these lines a lot

@stevesi Is there any published/recorded retelling of this part of the Surface strategy by Microsoft? I've been thinking a lot lately about how great it would be to have an org setting standards for the ecosystem and supplying quality parts for OEMs, but on the biotech equipment vertical.

@ATinyGreenCell @TomKnightSynBio Whaaa? There's vendors that charge for the iupac coded mixed bases? I only remember ever getting them from IDT and it was free to get them mixed automatically in the synthesiser.

Only the hand mixed version with more accurate frequencies was charged, a lot iirc.

@NailYourShoes @owl_posting Ohh yes, good shout! I actually left Discworld aside for like 2 years after trying to start on Colour of Magic, which I enjoyed but just didn't quite hook me into the universe. Then I got FOMO hearing so many good things about Discworld and it only really clicked after Guards!

@WeiseFranklin Faltou outro detalhe bem relevante aí... a outra pessoa que dividiu esse Nobel foi o pai dele!

[Pedro Tizei @ptizei]

@Tinafar @jrkelly Is that government investment/subsidies for biotech infrastructure? I haven't read anything about that recently, do you have some links I could read to get me started trying to understand this?

Introducing the 1,000 Flower Collection 🧬🌹

I’m creating 1,000 genetically designed flowers each crafted with new colors, patterns, and shapes.

Here’s how I’m making it happen…  and how you can join me on this journey 🧵(1/7)

[Nick Desnoyer @NickDesnoyer]

To promote the collection, I’ve launched a designer clothing line where synthetic biology meets aesthetics.

I will give out 100 free limited edition shirts to the first who retweet and order with their handle in the name! Available here → https://t.co/KctFUBPZQH  🧵(6/7)

It’s been a tough few weeks. My 10yo daughter was diagnosed with a very rare, aggressive cancer called interdigitating dendritic cell sarcoma (IDCS). I’m reaching out to identify clinicians/patients who have encountered pediatric IDCS, indeterminate dendritic cell histiocytosis or other (non-LCH) histiocytic sarcomas cases.

I'm trying to understand non-surgical chemo and targeted therapy options, new pathology markers to better diagnose subtypes/treatments, and any data on progression in pediatric patients. Please feel free to share – I’m trying to cast a wide net due to the rarity of this condition and how little is known.

People can contact me directly at my first name (as written in my profile) at https://t.co/ubo0zQRMn0.

@aaronmring @davidkmyang @SynBio1 Was it this molecule? https://t.co/vAl9LRLW1I

It's a shame that the failures in drug discovery get so poorly reported and we depend on word of mouth like this to learn about the real reasons for things getting stopped!

[Pedro Tizei @ptizei]

@ATinyGreenCell @SenseoryPlants Not my field, but I had some fun conversations with @vdlorenzo_CNB at synbio events during my PhD and remember hearing several times about pre-2000s work on GMO microbe persistence in soil that is underappreciated. Not sure if he works on anything like that now, but could help?

[Pedro Tizei @ptizei]

@ATinyGreenCell @NEBiolabs Happy to see that they fixed it and once again NEB confirms my impression that they're one of the few companies in life sci that really care about their customers! Every contact with sales and support is pleasant and they seem to genuinely want to help

Alerta de espécie nova de morcego frugívoro - um dos menores do mundo (5g) que comem frutas.

Vou contar aqui um pouco de como foi a descoberta e descrição dessa espécie nova descrita por dois pesquisadores brasileiros e dois mexicanos.

@fvguima Até hoje dou risada quando lembro que o alcance dos soldados do Age of Empires 1 ptbr aparecia como CAMPOS DE TREINAMENTO, pq um jêniu traduziu Archery Range como Campo de Treinamento de Arqueiros e meteu o ctrl+f replace all 🤣

@ideasbyjin Sequence generation conditioned on EC numbers by @ferruz_noelia, @lorenzphil09... Not quite natural language, but that's as close as I can remember right now.

@AramVartian @KEMpodcast @FilmReroll GURPS definitely brings back memories... Never got to try the "newer" edition (from like 2005?), but I vividly remember wild tables and rules that made old school D&D armor class and THAC0 seem perfectly intuitive!

[Pedro Tizei @ptizei]

@RealSexyCyborg Very much a mixture... I spotted like 3 Brazilian dishes (coxinha, cheese balls and black bean stew), lots of stuff from other Latin American countries but also Goulash which is eastern European!

Maybe a hodgepodge like generic "asian" restaurants in the west would look to you?
