Yesterday was a historic day in plant biotech: a purple tomato engineered with high antioxidants was approved by @USDA @BigPurpleTomato helps prevent cardiovascular disease and fight cancer in humans.
This approval under new regulation ushers in a new era for plant synbio!

My experiences in Dr. Ting Lu's lab documented in the letter attached.
It's not about him. I've cared about him enough during those 18 months of my life. It's about the students.

Excited to share new work w/ co-lead @CamilliaAzimi, @MarsonLab @kickassscience1 @roybal_lab: using a method we call 'CAR Pooling', we tested many CARs in multiplex & found new non-T cell signaling domains which improve CAR-T efficacy. biorxiv.org/cgi/content/shor… 👇🧵 1/10

'There have been many definitions of synthetic biology over the years, but I especially like the definition offered by my friend and colleague, @meganjpalmer “Synthetic biology is a community, a field, and an approach”.'

Introducing the BioMe plate! This modified 96-well microplate enables the observation of microbes interacting across a porous membrane. Very happy to have the paper from my graduate work with @segrelab co-led by Charles Jo (who also made this awesome GIF) out on BioRxiv now!

Scientific American has never endorsed a presidential candidate in our 175-year history—until now.
The 2020 election is literally a matter of life and death. We urge you to vote for health, science and Joe Biden for President.

.@JoeBiden can unify the American people because he's spent his life fighting for us. And as president, he'll build an America that lives up to our ideals.
I'm honored to join him as our party's nominee for Vice President, and do what it takes to make him our Commander-in-Chief.
