Just published: our framework showing how plant agriculture + synthetic biology could contribute to gigatonne-scale climate mitigation. Scale matters — small per-hectare gains = huge global impact when deployed broadly. 🔗 doi.org/10.1093/plphys… #synbio #climate #agriculture

I’ve been off this platform for a while, did I miss anything important?

Who do I know who works in mammalian cells? We have built an in vivo FPP biosensor; we are testing in yeast, and need it tested in mammalian cells: express, visualise/image fluorescence (microscope), & use statins to drive a shift in FPP levels. Reach out if you can do this!

do think discourse on engineering biology would benefit from fewer platitudes about the complexity of living systems and more informed optimism about our inevitable path to break down, understand and rebuild organisms

@ADHansonLab @AukeHoekstra Honestly, I am surprised anyone still does these calculations, if only because they’ve been around for a decade or more by now. Agree with the ‘how is this not filtering through to policy?’ sentiment!

@AukeHoekstra We too calculated that replacing kerosene with SAF is only possible for a small fraction of today’s commercial jet fleet. As it takes only Google, a calculator, commonsense logic & ~15 min to make this calculation, why don’t policymakers run the numbers? doi.org/10.1093/plphys…

Biofuels can't replace fossil fuels. "soybean for one fourth of global aviation fuel would require 40 percent of global cropland" The US subsidizes corn ethanol but "producing ethanol uses almost as much fossil fuel as ethanol replaces" e360.yale.edu/features/corn-…
