Loads of space sciences going on at @UTRGV! Check out my interview: lnkd.in/dSHfZ3eb
For this @NASA grant, we are working on simulating the icy surface at Jupiter's moon Europa, which will yield a chemical map to aid deciphering Europa Clipper's data.

All known living cells produce proteins from the same 20 coded amino acids.
Now new research from Klára Hlouchová @science_charles aims to construct a bacterial strain relying on only 19!
