Happy #InternationalWomensDay! Join us tonight for a panel discussion on advancing diversity and inclusion in STEM, inspired by the award-winning documentary Picture a Scientist. #WomenInScience #Weltfrauentag with IMPRS-μLife Max Planck Institute for Marine Microbiology MPI for Brain Research @TheSomnolentSci

Thank you to the #MarBiNA for giving me this honor! Thank you to SYBORG & JCBLab 🇺🇦🕊 for giving me the space, knowledge, and support to do this work! #MPIterMic

Congrats Iria! She's an amazing scientist and also a great friend 😊. It was a pleasure spending time together in the SYBORG !

Congrats to my amazing Labmate and great friend Iria! You are amazing and it has been a pleasure to work with you in SYBORG!! I am grateful for our scientific discussions and our friendship!

Did you say “leaky”? Amazing work setting the basis for the rational design of tightly controlled gene expression systems. Congrats Amir Pandi (SYBORG colleague) and Thomas Gorochowski (and coauthors!) 👏 nature.com/articles/s4146…

Bye bye Max Planck Journal, hello MAX MAG! Unser Community Magazine glänzt in neuem Design. Es porträtiert Persönlichkeiten, beleuchtet Hintergründe und lädt in seiner Zweisprachigkeit zum Deutsch- und Englischlernen ein. Eine schöne Überraschung vor Ostern!🌞

Want to use creative approaches to construct new biological systems from scratch? My lab has an open PhD position on engineering synthetic compartments in cell-free reactions. hn-lab.org/open-positions Please retweet!

If you want to literally play with a microscope, try our new LEGO based one: biorxiv.org/content/10.110…. Plans and multi-language guides to teach kids are on GitHub: github.com/tobetz/LegoMic…. Sub-micron resolution thanks to a smartphone lens. Please RT, so that it reaches the kids!

Our first ever paper ft. not only P. patens but M. polymorpha mutants: KO of histone acetyl transferase Pphag1 leads to arrested male and impaired female gametangia development, Mphag1 shows lack of gametangiophore development rdcu.be/civAC cartoon by @SchreiberMona

Go Marburg 💪🏼

Did someone say PSII? I think we just caught an assembly intermediate dead to rights! It's literally frozen. Free shared Link: rdcu.be/ciybs

Hot off the press: The journey of how Maren Nattermann and Simon Burgener re-engineered a decarboxylase into a synthetic #carboligase for one-carbon #biocatalysis. A fruitful collaboration with Gonzalez Research Group. A short thread to follow: pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

🥳Congratulations to our former PhD student and current postdoc Oskar Staufer on receiving the Max Planck Society 2020 Otto Hahn Medal for his outstanding doctoral research on synthetic exosomes! mr.mpg.de/14510974/ottoh…

Today we have the Part 3 of our EVOdrops_ITN remote Bordeaux workshop ! Happy to welcome Claudia from Cambridge University talking about the emergence of modern cells CNRS Aquitaine FrontiersOfLifeBx

Its out!! Thanks to an extremely helpful reviewing process at mBio, our preprint exploring how GroESL folding supports the cell envelope and division has been expanded, with more info on how the Z-ring, stress, and protein folding are linked: bit.ly/3eikykQ 1/7

#OnTheCover A Modular In Vitro Platform for the Production of Terpenes and Polyketides from CO2 (Erb) onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/an… SYBORG

Very honored to receive this France-Germany Prize with Tobias Erb SYBORG! Many thanks to MaxSynBio for triggering and funding this collaboration and Institut universitaire de France (IUF) for the support ! France/Germany partnership Université de Bordeaux CNRS Aquitaine FrontiersOfLifeBx science-allemagne.fr/?p=22050

There is nothing I like more than merging unrelated genetic technologies in a new platform. With the invaluable help of Akos Nyerges, Yamal managed to combine ssDNA recombineering with bacterial surface display of nanobodies & experimental evolution rdcu.be/cy4GR

#NLSLAM D-4: Who’s that finalist? … It’s Tarryn Miller from NREL! Her #NationalLabSLAM topic is “From Trash to Treasure: Harnessing Outer Membrane Vesicles for Sustainable Bioprocessing.” Livestream the competition on Wed. 11/15 at nlresearchslam.org.
