I saw it firsthand at the #Lindau2025 Nobel Laureates meeting--international young scientists welcomed and recruited in Germany and elsewhere. Some of the very best are leaving, and many of the best will no longer come. wsj.com/politics/polic…

The moment we have all been waiting for…okay maybe just me. A picture of the first gel in my lab at @CoulterBME. 🥰

Check out this blog post about my lab's new technology where we engineered bacteria to mineralize a glass coating around themselves, which allows them to focus light like tiny microlenses! Just out in PNAS: pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…
Niko McCarty.@NikoMcCarty

I'm trying something new: A (possibly) daily blog about biology and engineering. I'd like to see whether I can emulate Derek Lowe for, say, one month. My first post is about bacteria that were engineered to act as microlenses, focusing beams of photons.

Hey Synbio folks. Any interest in migrating over to Reddit? I'm tired of this place. The char limit is annoying. The trolls are bad company. And there's no back & forth conversation so what's the point? reddit.com/r/SyntheticBio…

Another story in four parts. You can surface sterilize used soda bottles and they make GREAT baffle flasks for microbial protein production. Two orders of magnitude in savings and minimal effort to sterilize with dilute bleach + distilled water rinse. RFP in various volumes @ 37C

@RobynBarbato I normally grow the culture to stationary phase (O/N for E. coli) then dilute 1:1,000 fold into fresh media to get very low OD culture. That way, you get the full growth phases of lag, log, and stationary.

Fantastic colleagues, I need some help over here! For growth curves of bacteria, do you pre-incubate in liquid culture? If so, which growth phase is best before inoculating cultures for the growth curve analysis - logarithmic or stationary? Why? Please include helpful references

The professor even called #policemen to kick my student @DrShopera out of the building & later threthened me and my student using the #leadership's #power. They just try to cover up their #crimes. She has been talking about #DEI in a national #conference to hide her real #nature.

The horrible problems created by @WashUengineers @WUSTL I'm facing are nothing compared to ones others in the war zones, developing nations & crime-stricken regions are facing now. * This poster was on the wall of the raciest professor's lab where @DrShopera was discriminated

I’m really excited to see this manuscript finally make it out into the world. It was a lot of fun & taught us more than we thought it would. jbc.org/article/S0021-…

Am I in Miami to give an invited talk or for fun? My neighbors in the airplane are all going to Bahamas by cruise, so I should come here although it took 2h of delayed public transportation by bus and metro from U of Miami. Work and fun can go hand in hand, right? #SpringBreak

@BrunLabCaulo @DevBioStanford Thanks for sharing! I am amazed that you received so many rejections for how great of a scientist you are. Those schools definitely did not know what fortunate they had missed and let the big one slipped away.

Going through some old photos I found this gem from my days in Lucy Shapiro’s lab @DevBioStanford. My bench left (with beer bottles🙃). I would hang rejection letters for my faculty applications (first one in red). Lucy thought I was crazy. My bench mate Janine Maddock right.
