I'm chatting about what it means to write genomes for Future Organisms, including the metaphors used to justify biotech innovations. 🐉📖🤖 It's a public talk for Genome Writers Guild later today, 6-8pm CDT. You can stream or rewatch here: 📺 youtu.be/CcG8B0uQAKI

Meanwhile in Edinburgh..Jane and Rob are at #msbw2022. Come and chat to us at our big teal poster later! We want to hear about the place of organisms in your work.🦆🪴🐁🦠

How many synthetic biologists does it take to do a dance routine?...#msbw2022 at the Ceilidh Wait...are we synthetic biologists?

The University of Western Australia has started a process to shut SymbioticA down and we have 8 working days to make a case as to why it should continue. We welcome letters of support. DM with your email address if interested. #savesymbiotica

Thanks Jef Boeke lab, Ran Brosh and Sudarshan Pinglay et al for hosting Rob, and for the chance to talk about future organisms & crossing kingdoms (w/ SymbioticA)
