Has been a lot of fun to assist in this broader effort. Excited about the Volcano Cyanobacteria we isolated from co2-emitting volcanic seeps. The ocean near Vulcano is a big bubble column reactor with CO2 churning into the photic zone!

Five days left if anyone wishes to donate to my fundraiser! Making a ultra cheap turbidostat for use in experimental evolution. Fund go toward bringing these tools into the classroom. Every penny counts! 💚 experiment.com/projects/affor…

Great opportunity for Climate-relevant projects looking to pursue translation from within academic labs!

I would recommend opening up your laptop and cleaning the dust off your fans. Improves lappy cooling, and a sobering meditation on the lingering requirement for hardware and moving parts (!) and the fight against entropy.

So Oxford Nanopore discovered something a few days ago - and it has to do with light. And they posted this image (sorry, too good not to share off the community). Yes, that’s 469% increased output. So, we decided to give it a shot and …

Garden Grants: Very cool approach toward more collaborative problem-solving and funding exploratory climate-relevant science

Can we settle once and for all how to pronounce "-mycin" antibiotics?

Once again seems to have aged poorly, this time recent Nobel News.

An international coalition of scientists discovered a novel cyanobacteria strain adept at “eating” CO2 and sinking in water. It is a prime candidate for biologically-based carbon sequestration projects & bioproduction of valuable commodities. wyss.harvard.edu/news/newly-dis…
