Just set up my liquid handling robot to run an experiment and now off to the gym! Nothing like getting the clankers to do your work for you (before the inevitable reversal and enslavement of humanity)

/synbio please give FCโ€™s 38th user a warm welcome!! @thatmre is a synbio OG working on opening up access to bio. He runs biopunk lab in frontier tower in SF https://x.com/thatmre?s=21&t=1uRirdAj_h8nvCoLEKmKBw We need more synbio/DeSci folks on FC. X is impossible to use without seeing extremist content and Bluesky is a crusty academic echo chamber. ๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿ’œ

Mushrooms will save the world! I spent Tuesday and Wednesday this week at a conference focused on bringing sustainability to fashion and cosmetics. A significant portion of the companies are using mycelium to make leather and furniture. As a synthetic biologist it surprises me how little funding goes towards filamentous fungi that are capable such versatility.
