๐ฆ๐บ Australia just became one of only 2 countries in the world where you can legally buy #cultivatedmeat.
But we still donโt have a national bioeconomy strategy.
So whoโs really building the future? @ausgov
@NikoMcCarty@BagOfNeurons Hi Niko, I've heard similar remarks re "arduino" or other SBCs.
Aren't there projects out there right now trying to do this like yeast 2.0? Would be fun to start a working group on this.
Hi twit/x fam anyone have a lead on industry-accessible Illumina platforms in Aus with a turnaround time of under 8 weeks? @illumina#genomics#bioinformatics#synbio
@JamesPBLloyd Thanks @JamesPBLloyd , it's easy for many to forget what makes SynBio possible/repeatable/standardized are the tools developed to support it in that way. I'd be keen to get back in touch on that second point.
@claudiaevickers@SynBioChallenge Wholeheartedly agree, the federal gov should be sponsoring this. They had grants for students to participate in overseas competitions. For the price of supporting 10 teams, you could support ASBC for all of Aus. TBH the grant woudn't cover the costs of going to iGem for 1 team
