Just out in ACS SynBio, our work developing a biosensor for hydrogen sulfide, a molecule with links to IBD whose volatility and reactivity make quantifying it difficult. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…. Ultimately we hope this could be used as a non-invasive early diagnostic

Today, NIH announced a new initiative to expand innovative, human-based science while reducing the use of animals in research. This aligns with @US_FDA’s initiative to reduce testing in animals. bit.ly/4jYd4T2

In collaboration with @MoKhalilLab, we develop AnEVO, a version of eVOLVER for benchtop anaerobic work and gas fermentation, and use it to study co-metabolism in E. limosum. Included parts list makes it easy to duplicate in your own lab!

@flamholz Our pre-print detailing adapting eVOLVER for anaerobic work and for gas fermentation is now online. Includes a full parts list if you're interested in duplicating: biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

@flamholz I second the BioTek recommendations. eVOLVER is great if you need higher volumes or continuous culture

Dear Micro twitter -- I know you have strong feelings about plate reader makes+models. Share them with me here?
Which models are excellent? Separate devices for absorb. only and fluorescence/luminescence? Are any of the gas controllers great? CO2+O2 control would be amazing.

Indirect costs are not free money for the university. What policy makers, tech bros, and many university faculty don’t understand about the cost of research and indirect costs. 🧵(1/n)
NIH@NIH
Last year, $9B of the $35B that the National Institutes of Health (NIH) granted for research was used for administrative overhead, what is known as “indirect costs.” Today, NIH lowered the maximum indirect cost rate research institutions can charge the government to 15%, above what many major foundations allow and much lower than the 60%+ that some institutions charge the government today. This change will save more than $4B a year effective immediately.

This was a fun collab with @Moon_Synth_Bio, Yinjie Tang, and their students. More to come!

What should be solved to realize space exploration and in-space biomanufacturing? Our collaborative team answers this question by publishing a research paper in Nature Communication! Great job! @NatureComms @JCVenterInst @MarkBlenner @diaojinjin88 @NASA nature.com/articles/s4146…

@sikeslab I keep thinking about signing up. Your tweet might push me over the brink

I really like the way feeds can be customized on the other site! Wish there were more #ChemE researchers sharing and discussing their work there, but it is great for #Biology #Chemistry and #BioE already.

Excited to expand our efforts to domesticate Clostridia, with support from #NSF, and awesome collaborators @SandovalCBE and Aimee Shen. Actively looking for a postdoc interested in pioneering new ways to genetically engineer non-model microbes. che.northeastern.edu/news/engineeri… @NU_ChemE
