What examples are there of synbio / engbio providing us with new to nature materials / molecules.... is there a review out there?

Great resource for all the scientists out there who, like me, have stopped using BioRender since their recent update to the terms and conditions. bioart.niaid.nih.gov

Critical raw materials are vital to Scotland’s economy, supporting energy, tech, and manufacturing. Last week, we co-hosted 'Securing Critical Materials for Scotland' with Zero Waste Scotland, exploring sustainable solutions for securing these essential resources ♻️🌍 #Sustainability

It’s been a tough few weeks. My 10yo daughter was diagnosed with a very rare, aggressive cancer called interdigitating dendritic cell sarcoma (IDCS). I’m reaching out to identify clinicians/patients who have encountered pediatric IDCS, indeterminate dendritic cell histiocytosis
