Introducing BioPort Adventures 🌱🔬 A kids’ series that turns CRISPR and biology into exciting adventures with Kevin, Sofia, and GeneBot. Book 1 is now on Amazon! Science + imagination = the future 🚀 #BioPortAdventures #STEM #ScienceForKids a.co/d/0eCRbsMz

@KomorLab @Quinn_Cowan_sci congrats Dr. 😀

Congrats to Dr. Cowan @Quinn_Cowan_sci who just defended his thesis! He aptly celebrated the occasion with a lei made of the flow cells from his HTS runs. Be on the lookout for his paper, which is coming out soon! 👀🎉

New in @eLife: Targeting Sex Determination to Suppress Mosquito Populations. Great work by @NikolayKandul @MINGLI08019428 @zhenxinzaoyi @elena_DB87 @Daniel_J_Brogan @MarshallJohnM @chipdelmal @CraigMontell1 @ucsdbiosciences @GenomicsCaltech @igisci and others. doi.org/10.7554/eLife.…

@deniswirtz @AcademicChatter yes, if he has publications... I advice North America immigration law firm for a free evaluation. I did my National interest waiver Green cart EB2 2 years ago with them. they also evaluate which strategy is the best based on current visa and country of origin.

Can a foreign-born PhD student apply for a green card while in grad school, i.e. not wait to graduate? Thanks

Did you miss Cibus CEO Rory Riggs discussing the changing world of plant breeding with @Bloomberg's @carolmassar and Madison Mills yesterday? Listen now: bloomberg.com/news/audio/202… @business @BloombergRadio #plantbreeding #geneediting #sustainableag

Targeting Sex Determination to Suppress Mosquito Populations. biorxiv.org/content/10.110… Congrats to all the authors. @MINGLI08019428 @NikolayKandul @Ruichensun @zhenxinzaoyi @elena_DB87 @Daniel_J_Brogan @GenomicsCaltech @CraigMontell1 @MarshallJohnM @ucsdbiosciences

It's official! The 🇬🇧 government has changed its laws to regulate traits from gene editing technologies on a similar basis as traits from conventional breeding. Another significant step towards international regulatory alignment and greater sustainability: ow.ly/wPBu50NvfQu

The future of plant gene editing is *now* thanks to Cibus technology that’s developing productivity traits & low-carbon ingredients, helping accelerate agriculture’s jump to a more sustainable system, say Cibus' Rory Riggs & Jim Radtke in @GerminationMag. germination.ca/proposed-merge…

😀😀😀

We will upload a new paper to BioRxiv in a few weeks describing an innovative viral sensor system in mosquitoes termed REAPER. Stay tuned…. This is work in collaboration with labs @AlpheyLab @prasadnp @GenomicsCaltech

We're in San Diego for the final (of 6!) #DARPAForward events. We kicked off Tuesday with DARPA Risers, promising early career researchers demonstrating potential benefits to national security. More at forward.darpa.mil.

Today was an incredible experience at #DARPAForward! Thank you @DARPA for the opportunity to talk about #RNA, #CRISPR and new #RNATherapeutics. Also met some amazing people, including the fellow #DARPARisers and presenters!

Postdocs at UC are organzing a No Vote campaign now. Their TA ratification starts tomorrow. If you know a Postdoc at UC tell them about this website. They need to know. #Postdocs #FairContractNow #UAWonStrike noratify.github.io #Solidarity

Paper finally out! 🎉 Great effort from the team @s_verkuijl @AEstadea @michell56085624 @jtopsch. In collaboration with @Omar_Akbari_ Lab A CRISPR endonuclease gene drive reveals distinct mechanisms of inheritance bias nature.com/articles/s4146…

'I recognize that meeting the demands being made at the bargaining table will come at a cost. But honoring our academic workers by providing industry-leading fair compensation, job security, and essential resources to survive California’s high cost of living is long overdue'
