12 years ago I have a talk at Google[x] (youtu.be/F8qcDQaY8Mw?si=i_Nn…) talking about synbio and a dream that one day it might be used to create glowing plants & other amazing things
Today, www.light.bios started shipping the first batch of glowing plants!
Dreams comes true
Cassius V. Stevani retweeted
We've reduced our shipping costs!
Now, it's $24 for one plant, plus $2 for each additional plant, with free shipping on orders of 10 or more plants.
We are issuing refunds to all early customers affected by the shipping overcharge for the excess amount paid.

Oh, and maybe some botanist can tell me what species this plant is. The fruit intrigued me (given my obsession with #blue)

So that was my weekend: A welcome reminder of both, the awesome beauty of nature and the power of curiosity. And one day, when this epidemic is over, I will write that story. (And maybe even spend a weekend not working.)

I had not realized how hard it is to actually spot bioluminescent mushrooms, especially when there is some moonlight to distract you. But I eventually found this mushroom: Mycena asterina (thanks Henrique Domingos for taking the pictures).

It’s Monday and I’m in Sao Paulo again and back full-time on #covid19. But first, because we all need some non-virus content sometimes to stay sane (and unlike @JeremyKonyndyk, I don’t bake): Here is a what I did this weekend.

I went into the Atlantic Forest in Brazil with researchers studying bioluminescence. It’s a stunning place, with an incredible amount of biodiversity, hundreds of new species still being discovered. For obvious reasons we went at night

We were very lucky to have @omri_drory and @NFX involved in @light_bio!
Here's NFX's recent video about the company, our first commercial glow-in-the-dark plant, and our vision:

The main reason I became a founder and then an investor was the help create a better, more exciting future. I've been obsessed with the idea to create a GMO glow in the dark plants for a long while (and not just because of Avatar!).

Por que Queiroz e esposa depositaram R$ 89 mil na conta da mulher de Bolsonaro?
Por que Bolsonaro mandou apagar do Twitter a defesa da prisão em segunda instância?
Por que PGR e AGU tentam blindar Flávio Bolsonaro?
Por que Rodrigo Maia não pauta a PEC do fim foro privilegiado?

Chadwick came to the White House to work with kids when he was playing Jackie Robinson. You could tell right away that he was blessed. To be young, gifted, and Black; to use that power to give them heroes to look up to; to do it all while in pain – what a use of his years.
Thanks for your service and for your advice. #theprinceandthepresident #inthehousethatslavesbuilt #tbt #DemsinPhilly
