This one is such a masterpiece...A must-read

🙏 Lee! Lack of dullness was very much down to Jaya Joshi too, as well as to all our founder interviewees! The video recordings of the interviews are almost like podcasts, really - lots of insightful material there for today’s 🌱 #synbio practitioners & for future historians.

When I began my journey in the field of Plant Synbio, I was seeking a timeline of events:How, When, Where, and Who started it. Now, with the tremendous help of these SynBio pioneers,Andrew D Hanson Lab and I have compiled a pilot history of Plant SynBio. What a wonderful project it was!

If you are a freshly minted Ph.D. and have an exceptional research idea/proposal to pursue PostDoc research to REduce, REcreate, and REcycle using enzyme evolution, microbial metabolic engineering, or SynBio tools. Please apply, Great opportunity

Missing the real time but very proud of Mack Thornbury

Revisit Jevons paradox before talking about efficiency in plant research. must-read article.

Privileged and pumped up that what you feel when you are part of such a cohort UBC BioProducts Institute . Let the work begin #UBC #newPI

anthroponumbers.org is a *priceless* compendium of solid quantitative data on human impacts. A gift to *everyone* trying to understand what we have done, what needs undoing or re-doing & the scales & timelines involved.🙏Avi Flamholz & all other authors!

When time is not on your side for #CarbonFarming 2050, it's worth visiting your C budgets first. A perspective article by Jaya Joshi Harvey Millar Andrew D Hanson Lab et al lays out the arguments on why focusing on cutting respiratory C loss is a Possible, Practical & Prudential solution

Excellent 2023 New Phytologist review on 'Enhancing crop yields through improvements in the efficiency of photosynthesis & respiration'. Note that there are 2x more options in respn than in p-syn⬇️ Decreasing maintenance costs (esp. of protein turnover) is one!

One of the best places to learn basic and advanced principles of synbio- Standardization, Modularity, and Abstraction. Don't miss out.

What a wonderful series of #SynBio talks at #PlantBio2022 organized by Catalin Voiniciuc. Kudos, Let's do this again next year.

Only a few hours until #PlantBio2022 . Enjoyed being an ASPB since 2015 and thrilled to attend my first Plant Biology meeting. See me at the #SynBio session on July 13th or say hello before then eventscribe.net/2022/ASPB22/ag…

Plant #SynBio tour-de-force from Dr James Lloyd & colleagues - recombinase-based logic gates (OR, AND, NOT, NOR...) for plants. And the accessible blow-by-blow account of what worked & what didn't exemplifies the DBTL cycle in action. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

It's always a pleasure to read a piece from Mehran Dastmalchi, that too when the commentary is written on our paper.....Excellent piece.

Here's a piece I wrote back in Nov. on breakthrough work by Andrew D Hanson Lab. Plant Physiology

'Suicide prevention for enzymes using continuous directed evolution'
