Rachel Ungar and I are thrilled to share our paper on the trainee-led course on genetics, ethics, and society that was developed at Stanford: biorxiv.org/content/10.110… (1/9)

Anybody who’s at 4S—come join our workshop today at 12:30 in Room 328! We’re sharing about decolonjal science with BioJam Camp and highlighting one hands-on activity. Come make a clear root ecosystem with a local endangered tree, the Wiliwili! 🌱 Corinne Okada Takara

Amazing talk by Britt Koskella for @stanford Biology about 🍅 🌱microbiomes, 🦠 community assembly, and plant health—microbes matter!

I’m excited to announce that the application for the 2024 edition of our MIT Media Lab and global synthetic biology course, “How to Grow (Almost) Anything” is now open! Application link in thread 👇

Cool job talk by Vayu Hill-Maini for Stanford Bioengineering yesterday—it’s team fungi all the way! (And some cool food elements too!!) 🍄

Amazing panel about academic integrity by Elisabeth Bik (Elisabeth Bik), Holden Thorp (Holden Thorp, dormant account), & Ruth O’Hara (@stanfordmed), moderated by Mildred Cho (@mildredkcho) and hosted by Stanford Ethics + Stanford Center for Biomedical Ethics (SCBE). Let’s grow a more ethics-focused research culture!

Our new pre-print: "Bacteria in honeybee crops are decoupled from those in floral nectar and bee mouths" led by Maggie Warren doi.org/10.1101/2024.0…

Congrats to Roshni Patel for a successful PhD defense! Roshni is an amazing scientist, leader, and advocate for #ethics in the field of #genetics. So happy for her! 🎉

Sketch was shared by a Stanford Ethics blog post: ethicsinsociety.stanford.edu/news/how-do-we…. Check it out!

Hi everybody! We’re trying to crowd-fund an internship for former BioJam Camp teen Jose-Luis to lead a summer project about bio-making and environmental justice in his home community of Greenfield, CA! Please support our campaign here: experiment.com/projects/empow…

A huge congrats to Pagé Goddard for defending her PhD today! 🎉 Amazing work in the importance of making representative and global datasets in human genetics.

Are you excited about 🧪 science and 🎭improv?? If you’re in the DC area this Saturday, join me and Carson Billingsley, an improv expert, for a bio improv #scicomm workshop at Rockville Science Center from 10-11:30 AM ET Sat Aug 3. RSVP here: eventbrite.com/e/improv-commu…

Today I’m so excited to launch The Biocreative Index, a directory of people working at the intersection of biology and creative disciplines. Want to join the index, be connected to our community, or contribute a resource? Head over to our website for more: biocreativeindex.com

Thanks Max Levy and the Grow by Ginkgo team for a great interview. Go see what Isa Correa Teachers College, Columbia University, Callie Chappell Stanford University and I @utep had to say on possibilities for syntheticbiology learning in informal environments! 🧬👨🏽‍🔬🧫👩🏽‍🔬🧑🏾‍🔬🧪growbyginkgo.com/2024/08/30/dem…

So honored to have my work with @drewendy.bsky.social featured by Grow by Ginkgo with amazing colleagues Justice Toshiba Walker, PhD and Isabel Correa! Check it out!

Super excited that my last dissertation chapter was just published in Molecular Ecology! We sequenced 800 transcriptomes to see what molecular responses nectar yeast have to priority effects. Check it out!

Fantastic to see this work finally out! Fun collaboration with Tadashi Fukami, Callie Chappell and supported by our Joint Genome Institute CSP grant.

Want to learn more about fungal ecology thru cake? Check out our lab's entry in KQED "Science is A Piece of Cake" contest. Too many people from the lab to list individually but shout out to our ring leaders Callie Chappell & Esther Tok (we start at min 52) youtu.be/8JO1x9V6U3k
