I am thrilled for the invitation to speak at the Microbial Sciences 20th Annual Symposium at Harvard University this Saturday! It looks like a great lineup of speakers and I can't wait to see the SciArt too! msi.harvard.edu/annual-symposi…

Glad to see this article in @TheEconomist featuring Prometheus Materials (@losethecarbon)! Congrats team on the nice press! I am excited about the potential to reduce the carbon footprint of the built environment using cyanobacteria! economist.com/science-and-te…

Congrats to lead author @ColinGates3 and team on new preprint! We show multigenerational activity, kinetics, and wavelength-specific recruitment of Vipp1 during photosynthetic membrane repair in cyanobacteria. Video: Vipp1 (green) and membrane (magenta). biorxiv.org/cgi/content/sh…

Congrats to Clair Huffine and co-authors Runyu Zhao and Yinjie Tang for our new review on carboxysomes, CCMs, and metabolon implications. sfamjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.111…

Our paper on how to measure the activity of a single carboxysome using time-lapse microscopy and computational image analysis is out! Congrats to lead author @JianTay1 and thanks to former Ph.D. student Nick Hill! @BioFrontiers @RASEI_CU @CUBIOCHEM1 doi.org/10.1016/bs.mie…

Congrats to newly minted Ph.D. Jacob Fenster and team for this exciting new work on single-cell characterization and engineering of Pseudomonus putida for production of beta-ketoadipate from p-coumarate! #CRISPR sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

New paper w/ Prof. Bortz and Dr. Wentz! The Analytical singular value decomposition of the stoichiometric matrix for a spatially discrete reaction-diffusion system to analyze the compartmentalized metabolism in the cyanobacterial carbon-fixing carboxysome. epubs.siam.org/doi/10.1137/21…

Zam! New paper on redox-regulated RNB protein Zam! Congrats Patrick Thomas and co-authors! Phylogenomics, structural modeling, 77 K fluorescence spectroscopy, and single-cell imaging of cyanobacteria. Also thanks to #alphafold. @RASEI_CU @CUBIOCHEM1 @NREL mdpi.com/2076-2607/10/5…

Our preprint led by @JianTay1 describes a new method to study photosynthesis and photoinhibition in single cyanobacterial cells. We reveal a new cellular structure, the photoendosome, with a proposed role in photodamage repair pathways.@CUBIOCHEM1 biorxiv.org/cgi/content/sh…

Think Rubisco is slow-not as slow as my tweets! But not too late to share our new review on carboxysomes and bacterial microcompartments-we discuss three distinct pools of Rubisco in cyanobacteria and their roles in carbon-fixation. Hope you check it out! authors.elsevier.com/a/1d%7EVD4tPFp…

Watch out CO2! Here we come! Excited about the launch of Prometheus Materials to reduce our carbon footprint on Earth! And maybe even enhance our carbon footprint in space?! @losethecarbon

Biogenic calcium carbonate precipitation rocks!! Our collaborative team enhanced the mechanics and viability of living building materials made with calcite produced by cyanobacteria and engineered E. coli. @CUBIOCHEM1 @RASEI_CU @NREL Check it out! cell.com/iscience/fullt…

Thanks to @dailycamera for writing up a nice story on our new paper in @ScienceAdvances led by postdoc @sarahjhurley! Check it out! Don't worry, sleeping in your car is optional here (but in the pursuit of good science...). advances.sciencemag.org/content/7/2/ea… dailycamera.com/2021/01/16/cu-…

Happy New Year! and Happy New Paper! It sheds light on the evolution of carbon fixation in cyanobacteria. A wonderful collaboration between biochemists and geologists made this study possible! @CUBIOCHEM1 @RASEI @NREL @CUGeolSci colorado.edu/today/2021/01/… advances.sciencemag.org/content/7/2/ea…

New paper! We used APEX2-based proximity-proteomics to reveal the contents of the thylakoid lumen in cyanobacteria, where photosystem II splits water and produces oxygen-key process for most life on earth! @RASEI_CU @CUBIOCHEM1 @NREL @BioFrontiers Link: rdcu.be/cbM5h

@bengeliscious @CUBIOCHEM1 @RASEI_CU @NREL @BioFrontiers @appmCU @CUBoulder Ben, your such a "brainiac". That would have been too obvious! I was thinking internally about saying lungs since this is about gas uptake, but thought that would sound more strange than brain.

@TheCameronLab @CUBIOCHEM1 @RASEI_CU @NREL @BioFrontiers @appmCU @CUBoulder Awesome🙌!! But one nickpick on your quote: "This would be like having the same brain passed on from your great, great, great, great, great grandmother that's still functioning over that many generations”. I think you mean mitochondria🏭, not brain🧠. And that kinda happens! 😜

Excited to share our new story on the carbon-fixing machinery in cyanobacteria. The supplemental movies are worth a look! advances.sciencemag.org/content/6/19/e… Also, check out the nice press release from CUB! colorado.edu/today/2020/05/… @CUBIOCHEM1 @RASEI_CU @NREL @BioFrontiers @appmCU @CUBoulder

@bengeliscious Thanks Ben!

Cool paper, Jeff!! The life of the carboxysome. Live cell tracking over generations. And I agree- the supplemental movies are 🤩. Let's fix that extra #CO2!🌱💪🌍

Our latest preprint is online! We reveal the composition of the thylakoid lumen in cyanobacteria, the site of photosynthetic water oxidation, using proximity-based proteomics.@CUBIOCHEM1 @RASEI_CU @NREL biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
