My best article @ScienceMagazine. It took ~1 year for me to publish it since its 1st submission. I hope it will positively change the #culture. I hope you will work together with me to make a better world for the next #generations. Please retweet broadly. https://t.co/EGEC6HC7hg

After finishing a proposal with 5h sleep and receiving news of our paper being accepted in Trends in Biotechnology, we went to Antelope Canyon by 5h driving. It's worth doing so. Nature is often more beautiful than humans. Do you see seahorse?

#adaptability is crucial for real-world applications, where the composition of waste streams can vary widely. The work was possible thanks to collaborative efforts by Jinjin Diao, Yuxin Tian, Seong-Min Cho & Sunkyu Park! Thanks, the Global Center team @NSF! @JCVenterInst 3/n

The most impressive feature of our microbial #consortium is its #robustness (composition-agnostic). It can efficiently process #mixed #plastic #waste with #fluctuating plastic #compositions, maintaining its metabolic capabilities and population balance for at least 21 days. 2/n

@ScienceMagazine I'll continue to change the toxic #culture, but #punishment is something #God, not #humans, does. I miss my dad, but he allows us to stay with my mom. It's #holiday season. Almost all of us survived 2025 & have someone we love. All we want for #holidays is #love & #hope. 4/4

@ScienceMagazine I felt my dad's sudden #death was due to his knowing my ordeal caused by Washington Univ's #discrimination, #harassment & #retaliation against me. So was my mom's diagnosis. But in response to all my family members' requests, I stopped my #lawsuit: https://t.co/tu7f29ZRhx 3/n

In addition to #challenges, I began 2025 with news of my mom's stage 3 #cancer. I suddenly lost my dad in 2024; within 5 months, she got the #diagnosis. Both have been healthy until I told them my ordeal due to Washington U #leadership @ScienceMagazine

I'm sharing the best #news of 2025. It's NOT about getting 5M @NSF Global Center #grant or publishing in @NaturePortfolio or @CellPressNews. It's about my mom's recovery from stage 3 #cancer. Almost all of USA #researchers and others started 2025 with difficulties. 1/n

I travel for 180 days a year on avg since 2022. There are many great places in the world, but San Diego may be the best one in terms of weather, life, diversity, and research if all are considered. The amazing view of Pacific Ocean from J. Craig Venter Institute. @JCVenterInst

Thanks, people who joined us. Update on SAFE Research Act. https://t.co/tPMAb38Lm7 "This bill does NOT include the SAFE Research Act... note that the bill has not yet been signed into law and the SAFE Research Act could be added to a future appropriations bill" @JCVenterInst
Could you join @theNASEM & me in opposing SAFE Research Act, which would render scholars ineligible for federal funding if they have collaborated with certain countries, including China, within the past 5 yrs. @JCVenterInst Please read and sign it here:
