PRESS RELEASE There are multiple, feasible and effective options to reduce greenhouse gas emissions & adapt to human-caused #climatechange available now, said scientists in the latest #IPCC #ClimateReport released today. ➡️ bit.ly/SYRPR23

#IPCC #ClimateChange 2023: Synthesis Report "is a survival guide for humanity," says @‌UN SG @‌antonioguterres in the IPCC press conference today. Follow live 👉 bit.ly/SYRPRcfe

#IPCC Synthesis Report is now available via the report microsite at ipcc.ch/report/ar6/syr/ #ClimateChange #AR6

First women scientists elected FRS. Those who missed out are particularly interesting. royalsociety.org/blog/2023/03/p…

As the IPCC release a synthesis of their Sixth Assessment Report, take a look at 'Climate Change in the Critical Decade', our summary of the #AR6 report and its implications for the UK: royalsociety.org/topics-policy/…

“This Synthesis Report underscores the urgency of taking more ambitious action & shows that, if we act now, we can still secure a liveable sustainable future for all.” - #IPCC Chair Hoesung Lee on the release of #IPCC’s Synthesis Report. Read here 👉 bit.ly/SRYRpt23

Big congrats to @ioanagherman5 on her new review PLOS Comp Biol covering the complementary uses of mechanistic ⚙️ & #ML surrogate computer models for understanding and engineering biology 🦠. #synbio Lucia Marucci Claire G Bristol BioDesign Institute doi.org/10.1371/journa…

Thanks @ioanagherman5 for leading this review PLOS Comp Biol on the use of machine learning and surrogate modelling in systems and synthetic biology! Thomas Gorochowski Wei Pang Zahraa Abdallah Claire G Bristol BioDesign Institute

The Trust's 2022 Annual Review is now available online. In addition to a complete list of grants awarded, we highlight the breadth and significance of the research supported, with brief accounts of over thirty projects funded during the year. leverhulme.ac.uk/annual-review

Our coverage of #WorldEnvironmentDay continues with the amazing work of our BCAI foundation, who are identifying the most urgent challenges for plant science! Check out the paper (co-authored by @HarperHelen/Dr. Emily May Armstrong/Claire G/emily larson) here: nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/np…

Big congrats to Veronica Greco for passing her PhD viva yesterday! She’s been a rock in my lab since I moved to Bristol, did lots of cool things with recombinases and I can’t wait to see where she heads next! Big thanks to Francesca Ceroni for examining and Claire G for co-supervising.

Applications for PhD studentships starting in September 2023 are now open! Funded by NERC GW4+ Doctoral Training Partnership Natural Environment Research Council, there are six places up for grabs! Smash the link below for further info: nercgw4plus.ac.uk/apply

Want to come work with me on environmentally focused #synbio. Here’s your chance. DM me if interested.

Mine and George Hutchins paper, where we designed and engineered a modular set of de novo heme redox proteins is out now in PNASNews! Big thanks to all our collaborators, who helped us characterise them with a whole host of cool (❄️) structural methods! pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…
