What a cool concept!
Super excited to work with @iba_vu to pur together kits for families to do activities that will teach them evolutionary concepts like natural selection and descent with modification! Thank you to all our volunteers!!

The U.S. bioeconomy represents 2% of U.S. GDP. Read @1AlexanderTitus for a National Bioeconomy Manufacturing & Innovation Initiative to invest in cutting edge R&D & biomanufacturing to combat COVID-19, foster economic recovery, & address climate change. dayoneproject.org/post/a-nat…
This is fantastic, i want to view all these videos!! But also, do i need another bingeable media platform in my life?
The iGEM Video Universe is a decisive milestone in creating the future iGEM. For the 1st time, it's possible to watch (or even binge-watch) the Project Promotion Videos and Presentation Videos from every team participating in the iGEM Competition blog.igem.org/blog/2020/12/9… #iGEMblog

This was a great talk showing how fungal production of melanin could be useful for electrical conductivity applications #TSMC2020
At the #TSMC2020, @C1tizenJones is highlighting this cool #fungus that produces #melanin! #microbesarebeautiful #CRRELSoilMicro

This replacement would be game-changing but only one example of many ways #synbio #biotech is trying to improve our everyday products
Palm oil is cheap, plentiful, and extremely useful — but its production involves destroying tropical rainforests. Startups are racing to replace palm oil with oil from yeast cultures. Can they beat palm oil's low price? bit.ly/3gGUhe1 #synbio #biotech

Accepted.
New @WolbachiaProj article forthcoming @GeneticsGSA describes our vision and products for hands-on, discovery-based science in classrooms.
Science education in the era of online and asynchronous learning has challenges. @srbordenstein @AthenaLemon have answers.

Does it make sense for US iGEM teams to raise travel and supplies money through bake sales and car washes, while other nations' teams get paid coaching support and paid travel? A program where teams could get practice writing grants for support would be a big step up.
In the #bioeconomy issue, @LaneWarmbrod @TrotochaudMarc and I write about iGEM, the premier synthetic biology competition often used as a metric for progress in developing the future bio workforce. BLUF: The US has a problem. www-liebertpub-com.proxy1.li…
