One week ago, #iGEM2023 came to a closure with the Grand Jamboree in Paris. This year, I had the chance to attend both as a team advisor (iGEM Duesseldorf 2024) and iGEM Headquarters Human Practices Committee member. Here are my highlights and key take-aways:

Every year, I ask some of the smartest scientists and tech ppl I know what they consider the most important, amazing, or merely interesting breakthroughs of last 365 days. It's one of my favorite pieces to write all year. Here is 2023's list: theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/…

INVITATION We are starting a new round of online community annotathons to populate v4.0 of the MIBiG repository with high-quality data. If you have relevant expertise in natural product genomics or chemistry, please participate! Please register here: forms.gle/LJR9uRTCyLg7Q3…

We offer two Conference Grant opportunities for #SynBioBeta2024. These grants provide an opportunity for #students and #startups to attend the #conference and witness first-hand the cutting-edge innovations in the #syntheticbiology industry. Apply today: synbiobeta.com/attend/synbiob…

Looking for a postdoc w/ E.coli strain engineering experience to develop #opensource IP-free protein expression strains for UK #biomanufacturing community & beyond. BL21(DE3) has been around since 1986, patent now expired but still tied up in MTAs. Let's rethink this! #synbio

We are happy to see a familiar face! Sandra Matinyi one of our BWC Implementation Support Unit's Youth for Biosecurity Fellow giving an update on how Uganda is implementing World Health Organization (WHO) frameworks! It is great to see more scientists working in the policy realm! #SciencePolicy #ScienceAdvice

Stephanie Burton on stage talking about impact of artificial intelligence and digital technologies on the academic research environment - great job 👏 6th international conference on functional metagenomics

Great PhD opportunity for #SynBio and #sustainability enthusiasts 👉👉

Scientists from India, Mexico, Peru & Argentina are invited to join National Academies Dec 10, 2024, for a workshop on mitigating risks in #bioeconomy research while fostering innovation. Don’t miss this important dialogue! nationalacademies.org/our-work/biolo… #GlobalResearch #Biosecurity #biorisk

Thank you to the #genomeinformatics24 organisers for the opportunity to attend and to present my poster on De Bruijn graph representations of metagenomes (doi.org/10.6084/m9.fig…). Had great chats about the future of metagenome assembly, DBgs, and k-mer/unitig indices

We’re looking for judges for this year’s Gogec. Time commitment is minimal and if you’re a graduate student or above in synbio, you have the experience we’re looking for! Sign up in our pinned post and join us for a fun few days in Feb! 😎
