I put 119 of (some of) my favorite papers I've read over the years on my Substack! (Titles, links, many with commentary, images). Enjoy! Link: https://t.co/fX3Jjbgf7v

In a new @NatureBiotech paper, a team of researchers, led by @MITdeptofBE Professor Christopher Voigt, has engineered bacteria to emit signals that can be detected up to 90 meters away. These bacteria could help farmers monitor their crops. https://t.co/QP5csRYBWB

Nice article about our work designing hyperspectral reporter systems out in @NatureBiotech today! "Imagine a world in which agricultural fields self-report their nutrient status, forest ecosystems signal early warnings of pathogen outbreaks, or engineered bacteria detect

Going in, I did not imagine that my PhD would involve UAVs… Very happy to see this work out!

> bacteria were engineered to make molecules that absorb light in unique ways. > the microbes were buried in soil. > using a drone with a hyperspectral camera, one can "see" where the microbes are buried from ~300 feet away. one of the most sci-fi papers I've seen in awhile.

🚨 Finally out!! Here's the article I wish existed when I started in sybio: - Every past time engineered microbes left the lab - Why some worked (and some failed) - How to actually get regulatory approval Required reading for founders/VCs/students who want their bioengineered
Engineered cells are finding their way into agriculture, living materials, consumer products and medicines. How do we design these cells and adapt regulatory rules to facilitate their safe and efficient use? #synbio #biotech
