Consent is key to great AI. At @Basecamp_Res, we've shown you can create cutting-edge AI while ethically sourcing 100% of the data. We built the largest biodiversity database and can trace each data point not only to the land owner’s consent but also a benefits-sharing agreement

One of my proudest moments of the games night at work last night was my avatar for Drawful 🤓 High praise also goes to colleague Geraldene for her artistic interpretation of a protein 🪢
ALT computerscreen showing the starting page of the computer game Drawful 2, showing half of the games' owl. To the left of that are four avatars in different colours. On the top is a red scribble with the name Geraldene below it, representing a protein. On the far left is an orange can of cola, with the name Carla beneath. To the right of that is a green artistic interpretation of the MinION sequencer, with the name Iniminie below it. At the bottom is a blue emoji with crosses for eyes and dots dripping down between the nose and mouth, with the name Marc below it.

If you're interested in Synbio, this is a great reading list to start off. There's a lot of material here, take it slowly. You're not late. And there's room for everyone.

We're thrilled to support the scientific programme aboard the Torabhaig Atlantic Explorer on it's @ExplorersClub Flag expedition to cross the Atlantic ocean in a hydrogen open basket balloon. We'll be discovering new microbial life in the ocean skies!

Our #Tech4Wildlife community also showed off their adaptability, like in Ineke Knot’s photo working on eDNA projects from home. Finally, we saw the joy of working in the field, with beautiful entries of community members on the ground collaring Caribou and Muskox.

How hard is it to do science in a language that’s not your first language? We quantified the severity of #languagebarriers for non-native English speakers when reading/publishing papers and attending/presenting at international conferences.

@ieknot from @Basecamp_Res delivered her speech at the #SYNBCONF2023. She said that a lot of research in biodiversity especially microbes is still lacking and alot of microbes have not been discovered. @ieknot is an enthusiast in primate research.
Dr. @metamorph2011 now, talking about the best ways to navigate the complexities of Africa’a #biotech ecosystem #synbioafrica
