Our work in collaboration with Kang on SL bioproduction using microbial consortium is published. Establishment of strigolactone-producing bacterium-yeast consortium science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

Mysterious plant hormones called strigolactones have long eluded scientists. Yet understanding how plants use them to adapt & survive can help improve agriculture. New work by UC San Diego engineers could made it easier to get to the root of these hormones. today.ucsd.edu/story/microbia…

Thrilled to share our work using microbial cell factory to investigate strigoractone biosynthesis and evolution. So fortunate to work with such an amazing team of scientists. Dave Nelson Nitzan Shabek science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

Very excited to share our latest work, "Intelligent In-Cell Electrophysiology," just published in Nature Communications! Many drugs are withdrawn from the market due to harmful effects on the heart, jeopardizing patient safety and costing billions of dollars. In this study, we introduce

Our latest preprint. We show that a specific strigolactone structures, produced by CYP722A in Arabidopsis, function in flowering regulation rather than shoot branching inhibition. This highlights functional differences driven by SL structural diversity. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Scientists are celebrating an adorable and remarkably well-preserved discovery—a 32,000-year-old sabertooth cub. Mummified in the Siberian permafrost, this baby apex predator is almost perfectly intact, right down to its reddish fur. on.natgeo.com/4jvUrXg

In a year with so little to cheer about so far, I am happy to share our manuscript on a copper-dependent halogenase. Unbelievable effort by GS Yorick Chiang and Scientist Ph.D Masao Ohashi at UCLA Chem & Biochem UCLA Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering . Thank you to all collaborators and @NIGMS. nature.com/articles/s4158…

Indirect costs are not free money for the university. What policy makers, tech bros, and many university faculty don’t understand about the cost of research and indirect costs. 🧵(1/n)

It's clear that many do not understand what NIH-funded research does to improve health. It's time to revive a study published 10 years ago that provides incredible information about this. link in the comment Every single new drug approved by the FDA from 2010–2016 was built on

Microplastic pollution is disrupting photosynthesis across ecosystems and cropland, threatening our food security in ways we've drastically underestimated. These invisible particles degrade our soils and undermine the biological foundation of our food system...🧵

Put another way, I'm pretty sure a lot of Computer Science students are using ChatGPT to complete their coding assignments instead of actually doing the assignments themselves. If true, it's a huge problem. The process of learning debugging is critical to growing as an engineer.

Butterfly populations across the U.S. are in alarming decline, according to a new Science study, with total abundance falling by 22% in just 20 years. Such widespread and worrisome losses portend broader environmental threats and emphasize the urgent need for conservation
