It’s been a tough few weeks. My 10yo daughter was diagnosed with a very rare, aggressive cancer called interdigitating dendritic cell sarcoma (IDCS). I’m reaching out to identify clinicians/patients who have encountered pediatric IDCS, indeterminate dendritic cell histiocytosis

I genetically engineered the amazing Arabidopsis to mimic the striking patterns of my Tradescantia zebrina🧬🌱 From concept to creation, here's the story behind transforming this plant into a living work of art! (1/7) 🧵"

Zoogle! Our new tool from @arcadiascience for picking research organisms. Even if you’re not a scientist, you should care that we spend >$50B/yr on clinical trials based on organismal models (>90% failure rate). Read more about Zoogle here: arcadiascience.com/blog/zoogle

Physically doing science, not just being talked down to about it, would change a lot of people's minds. Part of the reason why folks are skeptical of scientific institutions is the moat between general public participation and the various fields of research.

science and tech are moving at breakneck pace. who’ll share in this work and the fruits it bears? who’ll build the next new thing? now’s the worst time for blind kneecapping of young scientists and nuking federal science budgets. it’s way past time to reimagine how we do

Does anyone have ideas on a good journal to submit the lavender lettuce paper? It's the first time a chromoprotein like this has been successfully expressed at levels high enough for visualization in plants. Lmk!

Learning something new is so much fun. Turns out just being nice makes it easy for people to teach you all kinds of great things.

We are all scientists.

We need a better plant bioengineering toolkit.

Sebastian S. Cocioba🪄🌷 It doesn't matter if the whole world forgets, if just one person learns and remembers to pass the knowledge along. You (and just you) can master what it means to posses agency, practise it and pass it along. As long as people do that, human agency can never die.

Come hang with me Sat 5/3 at 11:30 AM for a convo on funding unconventional, curiosity-driven science! I’ll share how selling rare houseplants via plant tissue culture is helping fund a community plant bio lab—plus we’ll jam on the future of accessible experimentation. 🌱🤘🏾

What if we could encode secrets with biology? Rather than hide information in digital data, is there a future state where we might have to hide information in living things? HYPERCELLECTION is a collection of four puzzles exploring this concept. hypercellection.com

You can’t eat microchips. Social media can’t heal the sick. B2B SaaS will never love you The final measure of any technology is the value it creates, directly or indirectly, for living things. In this sense, biology is everyone’s mission
