1/2 The regulatory labyrinth for commercialisation of GE bacteria for deliberate env release eg bioremediation, biofertilization or disease control in the EU. Note that each of the 27 member states must emit an opinion & a vote 😱. No wonder the field is altogether stagnant at this side of the pond ☹️

The first published article of my PhD. As described by @gerrich.bsky.social, we equipped R. sphaeroides with a MoClo system, characterized genetic elements, and applied a semi-automated approach for rapid strain construction. Such a nice collaboration!

This is it. The act of science -like art- is not the output, it is the interaction and the process. What makes us the kind of scientists we are is how we approach the problem 🧪

Fantastic piece, and should be required reading (especially for university presidents, ahem). All of this "AI is the future" and "the gap between university and industry AI use and expertise!" always elides the fact that the tech is "mid" at best (@tressiemcphd.bsky.social) and more often just slop.

Something I've been wondering is what sort of settings the Baker lab is using to get these gorgeous PyMOL figures with? (I'm assuming it's PyMOL?)
A figure from the Baker labs RFdiffusion2 paper.
