We developed a new CID module that can be reprogrammed to bind diverse ligands. It works very well in plants, and we used it to make plant-based biosensors. W/ @LabWheeldon, T. Whitehead, @NusinowLab, @bvolkie, @BeltranJBio, nature.com/articles/s41589-0…

Happy to announce that we were awarded an @NSF Career Award to further our research into CO2 capture and utilization into hydrocarbons. I am especially thankful for my students (the-sustainable-lab.com/grou…), my partner and daughter whose hugs keeps me going.

We are performing world class research and providing an excellent education for mostly 1st gen students. Imagine what we could do if we got the same $ amount per student as the other UCs? Op-Ed: Is it possible to fix the UC’s system of haves and have-nots? latimes.com/opinion/story/20…

UC Merced and UC Riverside serve more racially marginalized students than other campuses and yet have far fewer resources to do that job.
