I'm excited and honored to be speaking tomorrow at SynBio Day 2022. Interested in synthetic biology for the protection of the planet? Check out the live stream below. linkedin.com/video/event/ur… eureKARE Nick Shikuma Metamorphotech

Synthetic biology in marine microbes. Check out @Amanda_T_Alker‘s talk today at 16:35CEST at SynBio Day in Monaco or via live stream. Metamorphotech eureKARE

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

John Henry at the Aquatic Cell Biology meeting Scripps Institution of Oceanography with automated aquatic systems for marine organism culturing (including #Hydroides!).

Phenomenal scientists and research happening at the Max Planck Institute for Marine Microbiology Max Planck Institute for Marine Microbiology. It was an honor to be invited for a talk and chat about microbes.

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, Chico State: This kind of thing is pervasive in academia and science. 1/🧵

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.

Hi twitter friends! We’re thrilled to announce the return of Micro Student Symposium. Join us April 15, back in-person for the first time since 2019! 🦠🔬 Registration is free & open to all researchers/students interested in joining us #CalMicro2023

Congratulations to San Diego State University professor emeritus Stanley Maloy for being named a 2022 AAAS Fellow for his accomplishments as a microbiologist, entrepreneur and science advocate. newscenter.sdsu.edu/sdsu_newscente…

Join the team developing the new field of #microbiome editing! We are recruiting a jointly advised postdoc with Jennifer Doudna @doudna_lab to apply new CRISPR-Cas systems to editing clinically and environmentally relevant microbiomes. Learn more ⬇️ aprecruit.berkeley.edu/JPF03866

Come be my lab mate and join our quickly growing team tackling microbiome editing!

Happy to share a passion project from my PhD working with bacterial genetics and corals! This work wouldn’t have been possible without support from Morgan Farrell Alyssa Demko Jennifer Sneed Valerie Paul Bradley Moore Nick Shikuma Stay tuned for the final version!
