🚨 PhD project alert: Engineering a soil bacteria to sense and record soil health. 🦠 🪴 🥼 🧑‍💻 🌍 Fully funded PhD studenship in my group, open for international students. @earlhaminst.bsky.social Please share widely! Deadline: 14th of May www.earlham.ac.uk/studentship/...

Really happy to have the chance to contribute to this paper by @dashagolubova.bsky.social, Melissa salmon and @honghaosu.bsky.social. We couldn’t have got it done without @nicolabiologist.bsky.social and Maria O’Connell guiding us. It’s been a super fun collaboration!

We’re looking for 3 postdocs to join our lab and work on engineering plant gene expression, metabolism and growth. If you have enthusiasm & skills in synthetic biology or metabolic engineering, apply by Jan 31. www.jobs.cam.ac.uk/job/49767/ www.jobs.cam.ac.uk/job/49773/ www.jobs.cam.ac.uk/job/49769/

What happens when the Communications team gets let loose in the lab? Group Leader Dr @sarah-guiziou.bsky.social invited us along to her lab for a festive #STEM #engagement activity - "painting" with bacteria. A great method for introducing #microbiology and #synbio to young audiences. 🦠🧫🖌️🎄
