Excited to introduce CRISPRpedia-a new online textbook that covers CRISPR from its role in bacterial immunity into a tool for genome editing to applications in basic research, medicine, and agriculture. The 80+ original illustrations are free to use!

Fantastic! A synthetic microbiota composed of 48 culturable bacterial strains from the leaf endosphere of healthy Arabidopsis plants was able to substantially restore immunocompetence similar to plants inoculated with a soil-derived community.
Check out this cool paper from our lab! Congrats to all!.A critical role of a eubiotic microbiota in gating proper immunocompetence in Arabidopsis.

This is a good article about twitter and scientists. Why some are leaving, why some are not, why we are worried and ultimately why twitter doesn’t matter that much.

This would've been a good data point for my @CanaryMedia essay on the folly of vertical farms!.
