Fascinating video story-telling from my team at @acs.org showcasing research from @pablozambrano.bsky.social et al in Munich. Science is global, ever advancing (if we're lucky), and quite often beautiful.

ACS has published a video summarizing our last paper in JACS. It provides a brief overview of our work on the division of protocells. You can watch it here: "It looks like life, but…" | Headline Science youtu.be/MCJEbJjmnhY?... Thanks @acs.org

It’s out!😃 2 years ago, I organized a workshop with @WebersGroup and @KGoepfrich on how to build Life. We discussed with leading scientists by day and wrote up our discussions in the eves. The "Roadmap Towards Synthetic Life" is now out in Chem! www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
