Ever wanted an interactive lightning-fast solver for models in physics, chemistry, or biology? Do you have a web browser? I'm thrilled to announce VIsualPDE.com, built explicitly to solve PDE models interactively on most devices, written by Benjamin Walker Adam Townsend and I.

So you just used a fancy deep-learning method (e.g., U-Net) to segment your cells. Do you trust your results? Should theorists model your data? Beware of “What You Put Is What You Get (WYPIWYG).” Your results will reflect your bias in your training dataset. Short thread. 1/

Our paper is out! It's about 3D image analysis for bacterial colony by using deep learning. Open access. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/share/FCPTHVUK…

Our latest paper engineering bacterial swarm patterns as biosensor readouts is out in Nature Chemical Biology! Led by @anjalidoshi16, Marian Shaw, collaborating w/ Andrew Laine, Jia Guo, we encode inputs like copper in visible patterns & decode w/ AI. Congrats all! nature.com/articles/s4158…

Supporters and past participants, help us spread the word about #BinningSingletons @ #ASMicrobe so we can help as many folks as possible have a great meeting! x.com/BSingletons/st… binningsingletons.com/binsing-asm-20…

I’m excited to announce organ agar, an economical method that facilitates screening large microorganism mutant libraries or studies of organisms without good animal models! Allyson Shea 🔬 Harry Mobley

rdcu.be/dcSAU New paper from our group describes the genomes of two Proteus mirabilis isolates🧬🧬🦠🦠🧫🧫 Special congratulations to Ilona and Sylwia, our students who support us in our research👩‍🔬👩‍🔬

Introducing AI Prelabel for all bioimages 🔬 - build AI models using AI models. Read about how it works below! (1/10) Biodock AI #microscopy #pathology #Biology

Having a lovely time at #SEED2023—from talks on ELMs to a gentle critique of publishing sequences in supp PDFs (totally guilty of this!). excited for the poster session today—find me at poster 44B to hear how we’ve moved our engineered pattern-readout system towards application!

Katherine Kiwi giving an impromptu slideless/noteless talk after her slides won't load with super high energy and excitement is the most impressive talk I've ever seen tbh #SEED2023 gonna check out her papers now scholar.google.com/citations?user…

Happy to present our latest pre-print by Içvara Astri Kusumawardhani Lakshya Chauhan in collaboration with Pradyumna Harlapur Mohit Kumar Jolly describing our efforts of combining CRISPRi and CRISPRa in the same synthetic circuit. Feedback welcome! DMF UNIL

Day 13 of great synthetic biology papers. "A synchronized quorum of genetic clocks," by Danino T. et al. (2010). The life of a cell is turbulent chaos. An E. coli divides every 20 minutes. And still, this paper synchronized a molecular clock amongst thousands of cells. *******

Join our lab! The Living Material Design Lab at UMD Bioengineering Maryland Engineering  is hiring a postdoc to develop engineered living materials from bacteria. For more info: bioe.umd.edu/sites/bioe.umd… molinari.umd.edu #synbio #ELMS #bacteria

New preprint! Engineered bacteria launch and control an oncolytic virus biorxiv.org/content/10.110… Exciting work from Zak Singer jpabon & lab engineering bacteria to deliver viral RNAs that launch viral spread. We also engineer the virus to depend on bacteria. Congrats all!
