Personally, I’ve seen “bioengineering” used more synonymously with “biomedical engineering.” I don’t think it can be adequately synonymous with top-down/bottom-up synbio. “Dihydrogen monoxide” also sounds suspicious to laypeople until the term is explained.

A quote by Andrew Smith — “People fear what they don't understand and hate what they can't conquer.”

Thank you, University of California system, for using @Accellion’s file transfer appliance and making all of our sensitive information vulnerable. Got an alert this morning about my SS number being found on the dark web. #accellionhack

Looking to design CRISPR guides for Yarrowia, check out DeepGuide. Great work from Adithya Ramesh, Dipankar Baisya, and Cory Schwartz in a Wheeldon-Lonardi lab collaboration at UCR.

I’m happy to announce the publication of a new work that I gave support to and was offered authorship. The team worked very hard on this, and I’m proud of the outcome. I’m looking forward to this bringing forth great things! doi.org/10.1002/bit.28…
