A conspicuous roadblock to studying marine bacteria for fundamental research and biotechnology is a lack of modular synthetic biology tools for their genetic manipulation. Here, we applied, and...

For decades, Dr. Anthony Fauci has led with science to fight infectious disease. His leadership during the pandemic saved countless lives, & his commitment to evidence-based science is a key reason why public policies have been able to protect public health. ASM stands w/ Fauci.

Why you, regardless of where you are and what you do, should care and be outraged about this situation occurring at a small CSU in Northern California, @ChicoState: This kind of thing is pervasive in academia and science. 1/🧵
Thomas Peele@thomas_peele8 Dec 2022
A prominent @ChicoState biology professor allegedly spoke of killing two female colleagues who cooperated in a 2020 investigation that found he had a prohibited sexual affair with a graduate student, state court and newly released university records show. edsource.org/2022/chico-stat…

Chico State professor disciplined for student affair allegedly threatened colleagues who complained

CSU is auditing the handling of Title IX cases at all 23 campuses. Investigators visited Chico State in September.

In 10 years of studying tubeworms, we discovered novel molecular syringes, made evolutionary connections to the human gut microbiome, and founded a biotech startup @Metamorphotech1. Can't wait to see what the next decade has in store for us.

Could tubeworms hold secrets that advance genetic modification? Find out in @SDSU's research magazine, Highlights, page 7. @SDSUsciences @ShikumaLab research.sdsu.edu/highlights
