Excited to finally launch something we've been brewing on Astera Institute . We're going upstream in synbio! We'll be funding more basic research to enable actionable, scalable solutions, esp for synbio start-ups. Step 1: hearing more from y'all on what's needed! Please RP

Really excited to host an intimate event with Fifty Years, ArcadiaScience + Maria Jose Duran in May about predicting genetic 'engineer-ability' + ideal growth conditions of organisms. Which Bay Area scientists are at the frontier of synbio and need to be there? 👇 DMs open too!

We need new ways to measure the impact of science. At ArcadiaScience, we’ve released research on our platform for almost two years, but how can we measure its outcomes? We’re seeking feedback on this question! research.arcadiascience.com/pub/open-quest… [🧵/7]

🚨New ArcadiaScience job alert!
We’re looking to add an evolutionary biologist to our platform team to help us develop methods to more effectively mine the tree of life! Apply now!

Beyond happy to see first example of our interoperable blog-style pubs ArcadiaScience being cited in a... journal. A reminder that the internet gives us more agency as scientists to dictate how we use and share science. The signal can be utility🥇💪

Last year, ArcadiaScience created a lone star tick genome🧬 We were excited to have it & BLASTed to our heart's content! And then we quickly realized we needed gene predictions to do all the cool research we wanted to do. A 🧵 on how we created those predictions 1/11

Alright folks, we’ve split our project scientist job ad into two open roles ArcadiaScience. One for discovery project scientists developing platform tools to more effectively mine the tree of life and the other for scientist entrepreneurs that will run translational pilots for…

If you love evolution and doing early stage science, come join our team!

📢Calling all current or aspiring scientist founders: a scientist role open ArcadiaScience to get the ball rolling for a future start-up. Come build💪📈 jobs.lever.co/arcadiascience…

Good at thinking through high leverage research projects that you’re happy to iterate on or sunset if they don’t pan out so you can test new approaches/insights? You might be the ideal Discovery Project Scientist ArcadiaScience! Our next round of review begins in about a month…

entrepreneurs also know about failing fast, but it sucks to not share learnings. i'm interested in funding ~10 icebox experiments thru Astera Institute for start-ups that want to publish their science as/after they ramp down. hit me up: forms.gle/jLaUx1QC641yii… #startupicebox

🧊 Scientists know the importance of failing fast. We wear this like a badge of honor ArcadiaScience w our published “icebox”. We recently got an update from the team to see how this experiment is going after 9 months. (1/5)

Looking for folks who thrive on tackling moonshots. If you're doing this role correctly, you should be designing FOR risk - aim to take enough shots that you fail several times/year, but for good reasons #icebox

We're so delighted to be supporting open source science today with our mini-hackathon for #Hacktoberfest ! Great conversations and even greater collaborations + a swag bag to take home 😎 🖥️

This tool really puts the FUN into Functional Annotation. Great job team! 🏆

Our lab's first preprint is up!

We identify a trojan horse RNA virus, A. odysseus, hiding in the human-infecting parasite, T. gondii. A crazy story; this virus could explain why the 1994 Victoria, BC toxoplasmosis outbreak was so hypervirulent.
