The final version of our PyShell🥧🐚 paper is now online @CellCellPress. Check out how diatoms soak up 20% of the Earth's #CO2!🌏 📜 sciencedirect.com/science/articl… Brilliant work by @DemulderManon, @Jorgendottir, Ginga, Aki, Giovanni, Genji, Yusuke, and all the rest of our collabs 🤗

Meet the PyShell!🥧🐚 Diatom pyrenoids fix up to 20% of the Earth's #CO2🌏. We discovered that their Rubisco is encased in a tight protein lattice that is essential for efficient carbon fixation and cell growth🌱 Super excited to share our new preprint📜: biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Goodbye Twitter🐦😢. Sad to go, but I can’t feed my advert money (and brain🧠) to the insane oligarch who made himself malevolent king of this place. #SciTwitter was the best, but it’s past time for the community to move on. You can find me on bsky🦋 with handle @cellarchlab.com

It’s been a good time and very interesting. Good luck as you continued to dive into the wide world of these ancient membrane remodeling proteins 👩‍🔬
AVERT project 🧫🔬🧪🥼@AVERTproject

Thank you to the SAB team & @BBSRC Portfolio Manager for joining our meeting. Lots of new ideas, practical advice and encouraging feedback as we enter the 3rd year of this exciting project.

@MadS100tist I’ll need some sunlight and CO2 as well….

Check out our new preprint on plant🌱mitoribosome! We captured it in action, translating mRNA, and combining cryo-EM and Nanopore sequencing, identified key rRNA modifications. Plus we delve into a late-stage maturation step of the small subunit. 📖:biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

What an awesome tool! This is what we should be doing in the AI music and art space— enabling human creativity and exploration 🎸🎻🎹🚀. Not just imitating and trying to replace artists. So proud of my brother @jesseengel 🥰. This feels like a Magnum Opus 🎼👨‍🎤
Jesse Engel@jesseengel

Excited to release a tool that makes the joy of live music creation more accessible 🎸 “Music FX DJ” is new and improved: g.co/labs/musicfx-dj Featuring a whole suite of new controls, sharing and remix features, and improved audio quality and diversity of outputs, to let you blend and warp genres and instruments in an ever evolving stream of music. It’s been an absolute pleasure to work with @jacobcollier over the past year on this. It was very affirming to find him pushing for the same things @GoogleMagenta has always valued: making tools that intrinsically value creativity and agency over just imitation, embrace the “weird corners” of AI, encouraging veterans to express themselves in new ways, while empowering novices to express themselves musically maybe for the first time. Read details at: goo.gle/4eTg28Z And in the 🧵 below…

It's been incredible working with Jacob because we've been very like-minded in that we have a responsibility to try and shape technology to support creativity instead of the other way around. We've done our best at that with this project, and I'm excited to see what people do with it.
Google Labs@GoogleLabs

In our latest #LabSession, we partnered with @jacobcollier to evolve #MusicFXDJ, our generative music tool that helps anyone create a continuous flow of music. 🎧 The full film drops 10/23 & tune into Jacob's YT livestream on 10/24 at 2 PM PST / 5 PM EST youtube.com/live/IUQW5LgBZ…

Nice press release from @biozentrum @UniBasel_en about our recent @CellCellPress papers on diatom pyrenoids and the amazing PyShell🥧🐚, a key part of the global #carbon cycle🌍♻️. Can this discovery help with Carbon Dioxide Removal #CDR? Only if we reduce emissions first!🛢️🚫
Biozentrum, University of Basel@biozentrum

New discovery: Ben Engel's team @bengeliscious has discovered how #diatoms capture #CO₂ so effectively @Biozentrum @UniBasel_en. #Diatoms fix up to 20 percent of the Earth’s #CO₂. The discovery can provide ideas for bioengineering approaches to reduce CO₂ in the atmosphere.

BONUS #NotTheCover behind the scenes! Here you can see the painstaking process of science artist Martin Oeggerli (micronaut.ch) coloring in all the details by hand🧑‍🎨🖌️. He made sure to get the color of the copper grid bars JUST right!🫶

@WiwiSFC @biozentrum @UniBasel_en @CellCellPress Yes, that was a cover art submission. It wasn't selected, maybe because this is a special focus issue on Neuroscience (bad luck / timing). I will make a new post with the full image. And indeed, I think print it to put by our FIB room.

Great lecture today in our @biozentrum class by @janani_hex — teaching us how #AlphaFold works and how computational structure prediction can help us explore the vast expanse of the Protein Universe 🚀✨. Thanks Jay!!🙌
