It’s true - easy to migrate your academic followings and cat memes onto Mastodon. To my 3 followers, I’m over at @syntbio@mastodon.social . #AIChE2022 #SynBio #Mastodon
Wow. This is a phenomenal tool for finding #mastodon accounts for people you interact with on @twitter. fedifinder.glitch.me/ You can download a CSV and them import it into #mastodon by going to your account settings and using the import option h/t @skwinnicki

I highly recommend applying! #DreamJob 🐾
Our priority deadline for our tenure track assistant professor position @UWChemE is rapidly approaching (Nov 21)! We look forward to seeing apps from those interested in building computational/theoretical research programs, applied to any area of ChemE or related fields!

We are paying $3400 for infant daycare at Harvard. In 2017 as a first year postdoc, this is higher than my post tax salary. It does not make sense financially to work as a postdoc and to raise a kid. You wonder why some women quit science at this point??
Replying to @sa_redmond
Did you know: UCSF daycare is $2800/mo for infants? 😳😳😳 A UCSF 2bedroom is $2779/mo $5579/mo in just rent and daycare 🤯 To afford rent, daycare, and everything else, I have a 2x90min commute and live 30miles away from campus. It is very difficult. @UAW5810

Because @UofCalifornia has tried to suppress faculty support for employees striking today, I think it particularly important to say that I offer my complete solidarity with @uaw2865 @UAW5810 and their effort to improve the living and working conditions at UC.

Let's all show that @ucalifornia can't function without the underpaid labor of graduate students, postdocs and student researchers - and that they deserve a wage that they can live on without being rent burdened or food insecure

Super excited to visit @BalskusLab next week! During my PhD I have discovered very interesting enzymes with potential novel chemistry. I can’t wait to share my science with the Balskus lab but also learn some anaerobic biochemistry and enzymology. Thanks @ResUniAlliance!
Replying to @luisarchaeota
@luis_valentin26, a grad student at @UCBerkeley @igisci studies reconstruction of genomes from natural ecosystems for insights into unknown microbes and MGEs. Next week he will visit Harvard on a research exchange to learn more about anaerobic biochemistry with the @BalskusLab.

We are of course not limited to sinewaves. We illustrate this by reproducing an iconic scene from 2001: A Space Odyssey. I believe we now hold the title for most ridiculously convoluted way to display a movie. @seth_shipman 4/

Very excited to share our new preprint where we use a deep learning-based feedback algorithm to control gene expression in real time in thousands of single E. coli cells in parallel. This work was led by @jblugagne and @cblassick. 1/
