Thank you Hari Parameswaran's lab at NU for 'hosting' me today for the virtual Northeastern University Bioengineering seminar series. Northeastern U. NGN Research

What a great surprise! It was just announced that Kamat Lab, Seunghyun Sim, and I will be chairing this exciting session SFBiomaterials! Submit abstracts by Nov 10th for the bargain and by Nov 20th to be a part of the fun discussing this cutting edge topic!

Thanks to Rice University Bioengineering for the opportunity to give their department seminar! Enjoyed catching up with Isaac Hilton, meeting with grad students Dhiraj Jain, AJ Walters , and others.

Whoo hoo! First day of #BMES2020 If you are here, swing by the UtahBME booth to chat with some of our awesome students, faculty, and staff - you can also use their super cool Grip software to request meetings! Biomedical Engineering Society

I am so proud of two undergrads in my lab: Kylie Persson and @TravisSeamons who both won scholarships for a third semester of UROP (Rocky Mountain Power Scholarship and the Parent Fund Undergrad Research Scholarship, respectively)!

We can't wait!

We have added a career panel to the mammalian synbio workshop! Join us for great talks and a session on “Jobs in the age of COVID” During the workshop we will provide breakout rooms to facilitate conversations between job providers and job seekers. mammalian-synbio.org/2020.

The abstract deadline has been extended to December 4th at the $25 rate. Please visit 2021.biomaterials.org to submit your abstract today!

Synthetic biology & Cancer friends and colleagues! Check out this great opportunity - let's get creative to help solve this tough problem! Huntsman Cancer Institute

Well deserved! Congratulations!

Here's an article worth reading on some steps to counter systematic bias right now. For most of us, you can change 'field' to 'lab'. My favorite lines? "You're a leader. Just do something." eos.org/articles/seven…

I have 2 PhD students working hard to graduate this summer Lucas Bush, PhD and Dr. Connor Healy. Excited to have their recent publication highlighted!

I'm so happy to share this exciting work! We have reversed the current trend of moving genetic parts from prokaryotes to eukaryotes and show that an activating eukaryotic transcription factor can control gene expression in bacteria. rdcu.be/cnKP3

The amazing Shwan Javdan is at it again! He's been in the lab for 18 months (is that right?) and has just published a great review (👇🏼)! He gets to add this to his collection of publications including a Nature Communications and a Trends in Pharmacological Sciences paper.

Such a proud moment! Shwan Javdan getting some teaching experience under his belt giving a workshop lecture on aligning and blasting sequences in my #SynBio synbio class! Great job Shwan!
