Our paper “A hybrid inorganic–biological artificial photosynthesis system for energy-efficient food production” is out @NatureFood! We propose a new technology for energy efficient food production independent of biological photosynthesis. 1/👇 nature.com/articles/s4301…

@Massikhodave @LinaCastano_D @ASPB I am glad you enjoyed it!

I'm impressed to see the SPACE tomatoes from @JinkersonLab they are making space agriculture a reality #PlantBio23 @ASPB

@vimalk4 @LinaCastano_D @ASPB Thank you for the positive feedback!

@SahaySeema47 Thanks a lot for your positive feedback! We're glad you liked the talk and our work. 🌱🚫☀️

@Selasphorus1 The monetary cost of the time sunk into these terrible systems to 'stop' fraud surely cost more than the fraud and associated fines they are intended to limit

Motto: "there won't be any fraud if nobody can spend any money!"

The new purchasing system at UC is HORRIBLE.

@giuliabono_ Thanks for your question, I couldn’t reply in the system so I will try here. How can SPACE tomato plants flower so early? We don’t know the exact mechanism but hypothesize the plants are or think they are stressed and then expedited flowering via the typical pathway.

Thrilled to share my insights in this recent @Forbes article discussing farms of the future! Thanks to Juergen Eckhardt and @KiraPeikoff @LeapsByBayer for writing the story forbes.com/sites/juergene…

Crops grown without sunlight could help feed astronauts bound for Mars, and someday supplement dinner plates on Earth. Learn more in this @NewsfromScience feature: scim.ag/37H

Excited to have joined the Bioengineering Department @UCRiverside. Our lab is looking for postdocs to join our #NSF funded project on discovery and functional characterization of genes for ciliate-algal symbiosis. If you are interested, please apply below: sites.google.com/view/thexiangl…

Our work on producing food without photosynthesis has been featured in a news article @ScienceMagazine written by @RobertFService! Check it out to learn about how we are trying to reimagine food production on Earth and in space! 🚫☀️➡️🌱🍅🍄➡️🍽️ science.org/content/articl…

Congratulations @LzbthHann on winning the 2022 Outstanding Grad Student Award!!

"We've gotten pretty good at building successful startups, but we're not very good at translating that into sustainable businesses and commercial successes." Interesting read from @Solt_DB on "How to Win in Synthetic Biology" ko-fi.com/post/How-to-Wi…

Congrats @ocean_keshi on your @FrontMarineSci work using cerium dioxide nanoparticles to mitigate ROS/RNS in #Symbiodiniaceae. Glad our lab could help your effort on this interesting approach and looking forward to seeing where you can take this idea! 🪸? frontiersin.org/articles/10.33…
