The microplastics field is quickly evolving. A necessary first step towards building the field is making the research landscape more accessible.
Great work by @Sarah_I_Daniels in shedding light on #microplastics research at a timely moment of new funding for this area.
Microplastics are starting to attract the attention of #biotech. Looking for the latest trends?
I mapped the #microplastics landscape. See who and what got funded and where research overlaps with other pollutants.

📣 Homeworld’s Pollution Program is spinning out Engineered Resilience, led by @Sarah_I_Daniels, to address an overlooked driver of chronic disease: pollutant exposures. The goal is to translate the signals of pollutant-driven harm into biotech tools to curb chronic disease.
If you’re a funder or builder and want to learn more, please reach out. #Biotech #EngineeredResilience

đź“ŁMethane causes ~30% of global warming, and even with emissions reductions, a gap will remain by 2050. Biological methane removal (bioMR) is one of the most promising frontiers for closing that gap. With @sparkclimate, we convened 30 experts to map the highest-leverage research opportunities, resulting in 22 problem statements.

Excited to share that we're deploying ~$1.4M to 11 groundbreaking teams through our Greenhouse Gas Removal Garden Grants! Funded projects span from methane-eating microbes on tree surfaces to bio-enhanced rock weathering.

This marks the execution of our first true Roadmap-Ignite-Fund-Synthesize (RIFS) cycle and the results exceeded our expectations. Our funding hypothesis was simple: surfacing important problems would be mutually reinforcing to funding solutions.
By facilitating collaborative identification of problems that connect researchers to funding we're accelerating research in climate biotech.
Thanks to Garden Grant co-funders @SparkClimate and @granthamcsf, and to Quadrature Climate Foundation for or making this possible through programmatic and regranting support.

Plastic → perfume?
On the new Climate Biotech Podcast, @cxarramirez shares how his lab uses Antarctic enzymes to break down plastic at low temps and turn it into high value products, like fragrances, that actually fit Latin America's market needs.

Why share problems openly?
Homeworld identified two critical gaps in the climate biotech space: risk-tolerant funding and limited interaction and collaboration among teams. Garden Grants addresses both issues by spotlighting the most urgent challenges and supporting the bold approaches researchers propose to solve them.

Every technology starts with a techno-economic analysis (TEA) - a basic financial model that bridges ideas with practical feasibility. More than the financial sense, it shows that you (the innovator) knows HOW your invention would become something in the real world.

◾️Want to help shape this? We’re deciding whether to extend this AI-based TEA tool more generally. If you think a low-cost, AI-driven TEA can speed up your biotech journey, please let us know. Your feedback will guide us on whether to invest more resources into making this tool widely accessible.
