Quite a lot of science today, let's dive right in

It's a sunny friday in London on the eve of a three day weekend. Let's have some science

The sun is out in London, I've got a new episode of The Wheel of Time to watch tonight, and you know what I think I might treat myself to a pizza. This is the Way (of having a good Friday). But first, Friday science time!

Time for some Friday Science!

Did someone say FRIDAY SCIENCE?

Time for some Friday Synbio!

RNA xkcd.com/3056

Time for a Friday update! This week I'm listening to: Abracadabra - Lady Gaga And reading: The Lord of the Rings - J.R.R. Tolkien Now onto the science...

Excited to share this @nature.com interview about the current state of synthetic genomics. Our work on the 57-codon E.coli genome shows that while biological complexity continues to surprise us, advanced omics & massively parallel assays now enable genome engineering & design at unprecedented scale

Time for a synbio round up!

20 days into Duolingo's Japanese course and the only way it recognizes what I say is for me to speak slowly and dramatically like I'm the villain in an anime.

Let's start the week with some synbio!

Yang et al. show how active learning plus directed evolution boosts enzyme performance, capturing epistatic effects and avoiding local maxima to deliver higher yields and selectivity than traditional approaches. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

So what cool synbio has been published in @naturecomms.bsky.social in the last week? Let's have a look!(oh lookie, the journal is now on BlueSky!)

Welcome (a bit belatedly) to 2025! Let's see what synbio has been published at Nature Comms so far this year

Hello from Ghent, where I will be attending Next-Generation Synthetic Biology this week. Looking forward to some great science (and some Belgian delicacies as well)

Time for a Friday Roundup! (i've missed these 😀) This week I've been Watching: Arcane - League of Legends Reading - A City on Mars (by Kelly Weinersmith and Zach Weinersmith) Listening: From Zero (Linkin Park) Plus I have some science for y'all

Gonna grab a cup of green tea and follow all the live updates from #SBUK24. This definitely feels like the old days of Twitter and I'm loving it.

The new Linkin Park album is very much powering my day today

I'll be attending Next-Generation Synthetic Biology in Ghent next month, who can I hope to bump into there? www.vibconferences.be/events/next-...

Let's get this started with some recent #synbio papers. Starting off with one I was the editor for: Control of spatio-temporal patterning via cell growth in a multicellular synthetic gene circuit www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Opening post let's set up the vibe of this place:
