science at @TomTexCo. phd @columbia synbio with @harriswangnyc. @UTAustin alum. I dig science, DIY, design, and art, and am predictably bad at small talk.

Super excited to see this fun paper out!! The idea came from internal brainstorming leading up to the first GP-write meeting in 2015. Thanks to @rwegrzyn and @DARPA for funding this work. Great collab with @JefBoeke, @julie_trolle & team. Co-lead by @rmcbz from our group.

@rmcbz @harriswangnyc @JefBoeke Extremely proud to finally be able to share the full version of this paper - now out at @eLife! New figures describe the engineering of a 2nd gen mammalian cell line which grows long-term in valine-free conditions at 3.2 days/doubling.

Finally get to share this work on using the natural abilities and microbiomes of fungal biocomposites to start developing living, responsive materials and structures! https://t.co/1eumfLKG0s

[Austin Graham 🧪🏳️‍🌈 @austinjgraham]

here it is – the main product of my PhD! hard to describe all the feelings. wouldn't have been possible without the support of my amazing PI & labmates @KeitzLab, my collaborators & 2nd home @RosalesGroup, and my friends in ATX for making it worthwhile 🧡

[Julie Trolle @julie_trolle]

Excited to see this pre-print describing the first work of my PhD online! Together with @rmcbz @harriswangnyc @JefBoeke we resurrect valine biosynthesis in CHO cells - a metabolic function last seen in the metazoan lineage over half a billion years ago

Sharing vaccine patents freely is the bare minimum of human decency: It costs nothing, requires little effort—the equivalent of removing a boot from someone’s neck. That it hasn’t happened yet has already caused preventable deaths.

thinking about Yang Song, the massage worker who told her family she had been sexually assaulted and pressured to become an informant by police, and who fell or leaped to her death while being pursued by NYPD officers https://t.co/YWxQxgLcrc

Perfect thread.

[Sung Sun Yim @sungsyim]

Happy to share our work on digital-to-biological data storage with @rmcbz, alan, @YimingHuang8, @raviusheth, and @harriswangnyc! It was extremely fun working with and learning from everyone involved!
