Super excited that my paper with @CorinneTakara and @RCPerez84 is out in @CUP_RDirections!! We’re sharing how to advance diversity, equity, and justice in biotechnology through community innovation! Check it out! 👇🏼

@GrCarlos_tech @ATinyGreenCell What’s your PDA recipe?

@ATinyGreenCell @RCPerez84 three loop stabs 7 days @ 22C° . PDA. A. brasiliensis

Can you make agar stabs of filamentous fungi? Gonna try with PDA. How well do they anaerobic? I have no idea what I'm doing, lol.

@ATinyGreenCell Welcome.

Wow, I know ✨️n o t h i n g✨️ about fungi. I feel so clumsy starting my oyster mushroom cultures and spawn jars. A little nostalgic remembering when I first started working with plant tissue culture many moons ago. Feels nice to be so new at this. Babysteps 💚🍄

@AGamick “The Dawn of Everything”

Recently read Thomas Kuhn's "The Structure of Scientific Revolutions"... With my interest in metascience, research and progress - what other books have I been sleeping on?

@AmautaNew Bioeconomy an opportunity? Early enfranchisement and control of 21st century means of production but also folks have long been shaping bio. whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/…

It is interesting to synthesize contemporary techno-political bioeconomic thought with hooks, Fanon, Davis, Du Bois, Lorde and Freire. More recently, #TheDawnOfEverything motivated generative reflection and speculation.

As we envision just biofutures perhaps characterized by multispecies flourishing and an equitable bioeconomy, how might creativity and critical thought of past and present institutions liberate our imaginations? 3/3 #mycology #synbio #biomanufacturing

At @biojamcamp, cultural, local, lived, and Indigenous knowledge—and the communities from which such expertise comes—are centered in conversations about bioengineering and biodesign. @eco_genome, @RCPerez84, & @CorinneTakara share their vision:issues.org/biojam/

@leonelcock3 Been thinking about this. Down to link up on a call?

Nalleli Cobo, brilliant change-maker, is building a better world for all. Raised in South Los Angeles, her activism helped shut down an oil well located across the street from her house. So honored to be her cousin. Please vote for her. SXSW PanelPicker® shar.es/afqY1I

Honored to have accepted first place poster prize at @ComSciCon on behalf of @biojamcamp. Amazing to see how people resonated with our mission of reimagining science communication towards social and environmental justice. This is a thread about the folks that make it happen! 🧵

@aryelipman If just 500 to cover current production, will it be 1 company operating 500 or 5 companies running 100 each, and so on?

@aryelipman We only need ~1k of these for US chicken production. Assuming 40 billion grams or ~44k tons. Looks like US produced ~60 billion pounds or ~25M tons of broiler chickens in 2020. nass.usda.gov/Publications/T…

Quorn just installed another 150,000L 10 story air lift fermenter at their plant in the UK - THIS is biomanufacturing at scale. Legends.

How do we sit with the violence of sterile tissue culture while admiring the totipotency of fungal cells?

Our work in progress explores what it might mean to expand how we interact with organisms and do science.

Shaping Biology Through Play, chapter 3 of the Making with Mushrooms graphic novel, now online. As always, we welcome your comments and critiques. #mycology #synbio openwetware.org/wiki/Adventures
