My amazing colleagues and I are conducting a study to better understand Graduate Teaching Assistants' experiences of teaching at UK universities during the pandemic. Please participate and share! shorturl.at/iCRU3 #PhDChat #AcademicTwitter

@LindaLindeLindi Ziggy Fleetwood I know some people... (but it’s the #diybio crowd and I don’t really think that’s what you’re going for!)

AlgiKnit AlgiKnit (Now @KeelLabs) from BDC 2016 created an extruded kelp derived fiber for their project, and are now a fully developed biomaterial company! #GivingTuesday is tomorrow! Do you have plans? Consider supporting Biodesign Challenge through link below: biodesignchallenge.org/support

Lots of good answers in the replies (polymers, exoplanets, statistical tests, chaos theory, asteroid extinction, &c) but PCR being both so recent and so basic always amazes me. Amplifying DNA is step 1 of nearly everything in synbio, and we've only had it since the mid-1980s?!

Advice for new #qPCR #RealTimePCR machine please? ABI QuantStudio 3 vs Biorad CFX96 Touch. Any experience or thoughts much appreciated. #science #biology #SciTwitter #research #forensics #testing

ICYMI - Exciting News: Biomakespace & Makespace merge! 🎉 - mailchi.mp/1e3dd3281429/b… opening up new opportunities for biology and engineering in #Cambridge! #diybio #synbio #biotech #making

Excellent PhD advice from Trisha Greenhalgh - I followed this in my thesis and viva on Monday! ✅Short section in thesis detailing academic and personal impact of COVID-19 ✅Discussion of incomplete data due to pandemic ✅Honest reflection in viva of how I coped/adapted #PhDchat

New and Awesome - Great tool from Biodesign Challenge for those just starting or visioning #synbio or #biodesign projects. biodesignchallenge.org/project-guidel…

My most productive period is between the day I set a supervision meeting and the actual meeting date #phdchat

Very excited to see what's in store next year! #alternativeprotein #plantbased #synbio #culturedmeat #AI

Why have I not met more plus size women in academia? I consider myself to be on the smaller end of the plus size spectrum (I’m a size 14, for reference) and I still feel like I’m the biggest woman I know. Doesn’t bother me (most of the time) but I notice. #phdchat #plussized

Is anyone here working on a side hustle, apart from being in academics ? How did you know what you wanted to do exactly? How do you find time and motivation to work on it? #AcademicChatter #AcademicTwitter

Upcoming webinar by the Singapore Society of #SyntheticBiology & SINERGY Consortium. I had the same question many years ago!
