In synthetic biology classes, I ask students what biological function they want to create, and one popular answer is "photosynthesis in mammals". Now, it's achieved! The authors transplanted membrane-coated thylakoids into chondrocytes and mice! Congrats! nature.com/articles/s4158…

😱😱🤯

That project was going so well until we ran the gel. N.B.: helmet?? x.com/BornAKang/stat…

I have an Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council funded PhD position to work with myself and Michael Sulu, using model microbial communities to improve our understanding of how communities can be used for future bio-industry Get in touch if you're interested and please share/RT ucl-epsrc-dtp.github.io/2023-24-projec…

This is hella cool!

You think ChatGPT is impressive? Wait till you see Microsoft's new Bing. It'll blow you mind away. Here's a comparison of ChatGPT and Bing for: • Outlining a research paper • Brainstorming research questions

I really like the concept, since today science in most fields is way too complex and collaborations are often not sustainable. Such focused orgs with proper plans may help small labs execute large projects that are usually the exclusive domain of big shot labs.

*DISCUSS* Which problems are treated using the "particle physics approach" (as discussed in the video) in your respective fields? youtube.com/watch?v=lu4mH3…

Introducing "data-to-paper": autonomous AI research! We've let it play with the large CDC Health Survey Dataset. Went to lunch. When back, it had already chosen several research topics, wrote data analysis codes, interpreted results and wrote 5 transparent, reproducible papers.

Was an exciting opportunity to present a glimpse of my work at the LSI Exeter to H.E. Vikram Doraiswami, the Indian High Commissioner to the UK India in the UK during his visit to the University of Exeter. With @tiwarianuj_ and Bhinge Lab🧠

What Biology Can Learn from Physics 🚀 World War II shifted physics from a field of brilliant individuals to one of well-managed teams. CERN, LIGO, and the JWST all cost >$1 billion. Biology has had a few "moonshots," but not nearly as many. Why not? Read:

🔬 Journey into the world of Phage Therapy with Dibyendu Dutta at the Bootlegger on Monday, May 13th! Explore the captivating potential of bacteriophages in battling antibiotic-resistant bacteria. Join us for an enlightening discussion! Dibyendu Dutta #PhageTherapy #Pint24

Do you Remember this Voice?

Last night at #pint24 was my first time talking science outside a conference! Thankfully it turned out great with an amazingly engaged audience with lot of great questions!😃 Thanks a lot to the organizers for making it happen Orlando Daniel Jones Harry

I cannot agree with this more, as I figure out the journey of what I like vs fit into!

We've just launched the 2025 Systems Biology Postdoctoral Call for candidates to join our Institute

"Oh, I'm a *pure* mathematician, I don't write code/do calculations/etc.." "Oh, I'm a *theoretical* physicist, I don't do experiments/analyze data/etc.." Etc. These kinds of statements are typically uttered with an air of intellectual smugness. But what are they really? (1/6)

What happens to bacterial genomes when they're cloned into yeast? Do they transcribe, do they get silenced, do they get packaged away from the rest of the DNA? This cool study congrats to the Koszul lab team at Pasteur for this great work science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

BREAKING: Apple just proved AI "reasoning" models like Claude, DeepSeek-R1, and o3-mini don't actually reason at all. They just memorize patterns really well. Here's what Apple discovered: (hint: we're not as close to AGI as the hype suggests)
