I was delighted to present the @FEMSmicro Yeast Research poster prize to Heather McDonald-Haynes at the Yeast Products and Diversity (YPD) conference this afternoon in Brisbane. Congratulations Heather! Thanks @BirgittaEbert for chairing this wonderful meeting.
Just published: our framework showing how plant agriculture + synthetic biology could contribute to gigatonne-scale climate mitigation. Scale matters — small per-hectare gains = huge global impact when deployed broadly.

Who do I know who works in mammalian cells? We have built an in vivo FPP biosensor; we are testing in yeast, and need it tested in mammalian cells: express, visualise/image fluorescence (microscope), & use statins to drive a shift in FPP levels. Reach out if you can do this!

We too calculated that replacing kerosene with SAF is only possible for a small fraction of today’s commercial jet fleet. As it takes only Google, a calculator, commonsense logic & ~15 min to make this calculation, why don’t policymakers run the numbers? doi.org/10.1093/plphys/kiae3…
Nothing to see here… just laundering money.

This is the number 1 health issue in developing countries. If you want to make an impact, read this thoughtful thread by @ADHansonLab and accompanying article pnas.org/doi/abs/10.1073/pna…
Diets+food systems are driving an ongoing epidemic of overweight/obesity, insulin resistance, diabetes & other diseases ⬇️Fixes are long overdue. See this straightforward 1-stop resource for decision-makers & concerned citizens from @UF_IFAS @UFMedicine doi.org/10.1073/pnas.2501723…🧵
Hey plant synbio folks - Plant Physiology is now actively soliciting plant synbio papers. Get your manuscripts in! @PlantPhys
@PlantPhys is v. much open for broadly plant-related #SyntheticBiology business! 3 expert new editors @Cyano_Dan @MatiZurbriggen @McCormick_Lab, plus submission option via @biorxivpreprint & a robust scooping policy ⬇️ Please RT to spread the word!
The pGFPGUSPlus binary vector is my most requested plasmid in @Addgene, but the paper describing it isn't super well cited because folks just use the catalog number as a reference. Please cite the original papers for your plasmids!
