12 years ago I have a talk at Google[x] (youtu.be/F8qcDQaY8Mw?si…) talking about synbio and a dream that one day it might be used to create glowing plants & other amazing things Today, www.light.bios started shipping the first batch of glowing plants! Dreams comes true

We've reduced our shipping costs! Now, it's $24 for one plant, plus $2 for each additional plant, with free shipping on orders of 10 or more plants. We are issuing refunds to all early customers affected by the shipping overcharge for the excess amount paid.

🍄✨ Exciting News Alert! 🌟 New scientific article reveals the captivating history and biochemistry of fungal bioluminescence! Dive into the mechanism behind the glow of fungi. 📚🔬 #FungalBioluminescence #ScienceDiscovery 🌱 Download: authors.elsevier.com/a/1icBL4xyjYxU…

Great story about our Firefly Petunias in @Nature nature.com/articles/d4158…

Love my @light_bio glowing plants!!! This pics was taken on my iPhone at home! 🍀

If you've ever dreamed about having glowing petunias, the Idaho-based biotech company Light Bio is getting ready to make your dreams come true. wired.trib.al/Xm0CgHz

Two-time #NobelPrize winner K. Barry Sharpless descends to a round of applause as he arrives on campus and celebrates the news with the Scripps Research community. 👏

@RitaLisauskas E ainda arrumam tempo para transformar a USP numa das melhores universidades das Américas.

Oh, and maybe some botanist can tell me what species this plant is. The fruit intrigued me (given my obsession with #blue)

So that was my weekend: A welcome reminder of both, the awesome beauty of nature and the power of curiosity. And one day, when this epidemic is over, I will write that story. (And maybe even spend a weekend not working.)

I had not realized how hard it is to actually spot bioluminescent mushrooms, especially when there is some moonlight to distract you. But I eventually found this mushroom: Mycena asterina (thanks Henrique Domingos for taking the pictures).

It’s Monday and I’m in Sao Paulo again and back full-time on #covid19. But first, because we all need some non-virus content sometimes to stay sane (and unlike @JeremyKonyndyk, I don’t bake): Here is a what I did this weekend.

I went into the Atlantic Forest in Brazil with researchers studying bioluminescence. It’s a stunning place, with an incredible amount of biodiversity, hundreds of new species still being discovered. For obvious reasons we went at night

We were very lucky to have @omri_drory and @NFX involved in @light_bio! Here's NFX's recent video about the company, our first commercial glow-in-the-dark plant, and our vision: youtube.com/watch?v=rQ02gr…

Our paper about glowing plants is out in Nature Biotechnology today — but first, watch this: 1/5
