/synbio please give FC’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.

S/o to @kelborhal78 for sending me down a generative art wormhole lol. In the process of trying to visualise what feeding ecoli different amounts of nutrients does to its metabolic network. Working on making it look pretty! The idea would be you can mint a nutrient and then play with the amounts and see how that changes internal reactions in ecoli/its growth rate and how much it stresses out
