Every island needs a @BiopunkLab.
Which is why there should be a lab in Sicily that you can grow your fungi at. Put @BiopunkLab's everywhere.

What if the future of compute manufacturing used buckets, not clean rooms.

This feels like one of the most important design jobs today.
Looking for a designer that wants to help build an AI scientist and figure out how that actually interacts with people. In-person @FutureHouseSF - DMs open.

The pattern I have seen time and again is that leadership matters - when the visionary leader departs, the organization questions the spending- signaling the end.
People often say biotech never had its own "Bell Labs," but it actually did: the Novartis Institutes for Biomedical Research. My new piece about what made NIBR special, why it succeeded, and why pharma eventually turned away from its own breakthrough:

Ciona sounds like an excellent model organism to study the 'developmental biology' of material manufacturing -> especially as tunicates are the only animal that creates cellulose (major component of wood), and they create a very pure, long crystal structure as well.
After many yrs building internally @ArcadiaScience, we're now able to partner more with others on cool organisms. You won't hurt my feelings if you don't read my post, but i will cut you if you don't watch our first organismal spotlight animation -- just skip to the bottom! 🧵.

If anyone is interested in funding a FRC, looking to advance protein composite material manufacturing in the Pacific Northwest or beyond - give me shout!.
"BBNs" have officially been given a government name: Frontier Research Contractors. The reason why: @ARIA_research has funded a program to help found and scale them!. This is a testament to ARIA's ambition. It's the only pot of funds in the world dedicated to launching these orgs.

💯- for materials we need this at 10g in two weeks turn around or better. What does that system look like?.
How can we enable biotechnology? Make protein faster!! . Check out our new work in cell-free protein synthesis making ~1 g/l/h of protein. Led by the amazing Meagan Olsen @NUSynBio .

Let’s go!.
Ages of human history are often defined by the materials we use. But in our latest opportunity space, PD Ivan Jayapurna is asking: what if the next age could instead be defined by our ability to assemble molecules?. Dive in + share feedback:

The future might be weird and wet -> what if you watered your t-shirt to let the algae on it create new designs, or your TV could repair itself by pouring in some engineered cells that grow nanowires.

I want to build a Foundational Model for Fiber Formation - to do this we need a bio-inspired manufacturing center that enables high-throughput data collection of a wide range of biopolymers, and peptides that form fibers.

My daughter’s suggestion after using @OzloSleep is they need to partner with @audiosampling for greater range of in-bud sounds.
