Eid Mubarak, St. Louis! To all who are celebrating Eid Al-Adha in St. Louis and beyond, I’m praying for blessings for you and your family.

Eid Mubarak! Today as we honor Prophet Ibrahim, Eid al-Adha reminds us that sacrifice is not a burden. It is an opportunity to see ourselves as part of something larger. To extend a hand to those who need it most. I am honored to be New York City's first Muslim Mayor and I am determined to lead through solidarity. Together, we are working to ensure every New Yorker can afford the groceries, housing, and child care they need. Our solidarity is our strength. Eid Saeed, New York.

im awarding $2,500, $1,000, and $500 to the best essays answering the question: what should exist for science and technology in the Arab world, but doesn't? your essay should describe a specific problem in the region, the innovation it would take to solve it, and how you'd actually start. sifrprize.com

We really eight with this one.

Tailored biosensors for directed evolution of terpene P450s. We engineered a CymR-based biosensor that enabled high-throughput, biosensor-guided evolution of a P450. Check it out in our preprint. chemrxiv.org/doi/full/10.26… #biosensor #terpene #P450

This has been going on for 80 years, and heavily documented. The NYTimes finally scraped together enough integrity to publish something.

22 countries now, in less than a month. submissions are still open at sifrprize.com. anyone anywhere is eligible.

It appears the entire chasing community has gone to St. Louis

@TheODINInc What are the data storage requirements?

If you have questions about how this works, ask. We’d rather be clear than clever here.

A lot of people asked about privacy. Fair. If you’re giving someone your genome, you should be skeptical. Here’s exactly how we handle your data ↓

UNICEF is outraged by the killing of two drivers of trucks contracted by UNICEF to provide clean water to families in the Gaza Strip. The victims were killed by Israeli fire in an incident that took place early this morning at the Mansoura water filling point in northern Gaza. UNICEF extends our condolences to the families of the men killed. Full statement: unicef.link/4cVCyP9

There's a lot of horrific news at the moment, but Israel performing a quadruple tap bombing on paramedics really is just an astounding example of their moral bankruptcy as a state.

Let us reject the logic of violence and war, and embrace peace founded on love and justice—an unarmed peace, not based on fear, threats or weapons. This peace is disarming, because it is capable of resolving conflicts, opening hearts, and generating trust, empathy, and hope. I strongly reiterate: The world thirsts for #Peace! Enough of war and all the pain it causes through death, destruction, and exile! #ApostolicJourney #Cameroon

Who would have ever guessed that Israel would instantly sabotage the US/Iran deal by -- 12 hours after it's announced -- committing one of the most horrific atrocities you'll see in its monstrous bombing of Beirut and other areas of Lebanon, killing dozens and probably hundreds?

Hello, Moon. It’s great to be back. Here’s a taste of what the Artemis II astronauts photographed during their flight around the Moon. Check out more photos from the mission: nasa.gov/artemis-ii-mul…

This is how our kids get clean drinking water home, in Gaza

@ATinyGreenCell Blaze the path for the rest of us. We need a playbook.

Would y'all follow me on a journey to make and deregulate a GM petunia? I'll use the open source FuGFP, put into public domain, and run it by the USDA for full release. Would be a fun behind the scenes of bringing a plant to market. Would be fun!

@leonelcock3 100%

@omarwasm Love to see it… but not the fee

Today, we're announcing Alif Sessions. 6 weeks to go from idea to product to revenue. Our first global, fully-remote program.

Iranian cinematography has one of the world’s strongest and brilliant traditions. The country has produced amazing scriptwriters and directors for decades. It’s no surprise that they are now creating such high-quality short clips aka mini films.

@OmicsOmicsBlog @SynBio1 1 interesting design. Could be a single point mutant, could be a hyper mutant. Only 1 forces you to think deeper and rationalize your choice.

Market research question If you were building a course where each student gets to create their own GFP designs How many designs per student would be minimum to be interesting? What is ceiling on per student cost for experimental validation?
