And now those penguins will finally get their comeuppance for freeloading off the American consumer. 🇺🇸 nytimes.com/live/2025/04/0…

“China mocked Mr. Trump’s tariff policies as ‘a joke’ in an official statement” Not to get into the substance, but as a rule, getting into a reality TV style fight with a former reality TV personality seems like a recipe for a defeat. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

At the molecular level, biological materials like silk and collagen defy conventional logic by building exceptional strength from intrinsically weak chemical interactions: Hydrogen bonds, π–π stacking, and hydrophobic forces. In our latest paper "Design and sustainability of

The @AllInPod did an episode defending tariffs to onshore four critical areas: Critical minerals, energy, semis, and pharmaceuticals But in defending the tariffs they neglected to mention Trump has exempted all those industries! Very uninformative to leave that info out

🧬Remember the pink tease? That golden swirl became the Goddess Molecule: two Bolt silk polypeptides that move with hair—penetrate like a treatment, protect like a shield. BioTech Blowout now on shelf. 1,300+ stores, 50+ countries. This is what we mean by protein materials.

1/ Resilin is a disordered, elastomeric protein used by insects to store and release mechanical energy. Its resilience (~97%) makes it one of the most efficient biological springs known. Properties arise from sequence-level disorder + sparse crosslinking—not crystallinity. 🧵

Biotech people are so traumatized by the GMO debates from ~20 years ago that they still think people will automatically reject anything labeled GMO and that “acceptance” is downstream of detailed technical knowledge of molecular biology. Meanwhile…

Interesting time, and not in a good way, in mycelium tech if the rumors are to be believed. Not sure how it will turn up but wishing for the best from what I’ve heard

if you were a foreign adversary hell-bent on corroding American hegemony you'd: 1/ alienate us from our longtime allies, pushing them towards a china centric supply chain 2/ pour concrete over the wellspring of global braindrain we've benefited from for 8 decades

I'm excited to share what I've been working on with my incredible co-founder Idalia Friedson - we're building quantum-accelerated AI servers by combining multiple qubit modalities in one fault-tolerant architecture. Let's go! You can read more at Sygaldry.com

Nationalize Zepbound. Just buy the rights from Lilly. It’s obvious this would be a screaming deal even for $100B #MAHA

We need experimental abundance in bioengineering. So much of biological science is trying to squeeze as much learning as possible out of a very small amount of raw experimental data -- because making that data is insanely expensive. We're hitting the limits of that approach --
