14 years ago today, @jeanne_erdmann and I brought @Open_Notebook into the world. What a journey it has been! Today we've published ~600 articles, enrolled ~10K people in our free courses, and mentored hundreds of journalists. And in <2 weeks we're publishing a book!

Thank you @mnlimas for featuring my @SWC_Can article on animal welfare and health reporting in this week's science news roundup! sciencewriting.substack.com/p/science-writ…

The second edition of THE CRAFT OF SCIENCE WRITING, edited by Siri Carpenter, was included in @mnlimas #ScienceWriting News Roundup's latest substack update, including a special preorder discount! Check it out here: buff.ly/4cUq9sT #sciencebooks

Thank you so much @mnlimas for highlighting @Sequencermag in today's Science Writing News Roundup!! open.substack.com/pub/sciencewri…

We offer two Conference Grant opportunities for #SynBioBeta2024. These grants provide an opportunity for #students and #startups to attend the #conference and witness first-hand the cutting-edge innovations in the #syntheticbiology industry. Apply today: synbiobeta.com/attend/synbiob…

I can't wait to bring you two #genomics pioneers from different ends of the DNA world! Craig Venter (@JCVenterInst) is best known for sequencing the human genome and later synthesizing the first bacterial genome. Linda Avey (@lindaavey) co-founded 23&me, the first company to make widespread sequencing for personal genomics affordable and scalable, which would not have been possible without Venter's groundbreaking work. Linda has a new venture fund, Humaine Ventures, and Craig has a new book on sequencing the oceans. Join them both for a fireside chat about Craig's new book: they will be talking about DNA, ocean microbes, pirates, and sequencing the high seas! Tuesday morning, May 7th, at #SynBioBeta2024 at the San Jose Convention Center! Learn more: bit.ly/3OHICzc

Wendy Lawton (@wendylawton1), a wonderful mentor of mine in grad school, said that if you wanted your work to be widely read you needed to make sure it contained peanut butter and chocolate. These are two wonderful things on their own, but bring them together and you get something that nobody has ever tasted before. I think this counts! The combination of #AI and #Bio are both about to take off in amazing ways and at this year’s #SynBioBeta2024 conference in San Jose, we're upping the ante with a fireside chat between two pioneers in their fields: @stephen_wolfram and @StephenQuake @stephen_wolfram is the CEO of @WolframResearch, he is the genius behind Mathematica, Wolfram|Alpha, and the Wolfram Language. He recently spoke at TED AI about "How to Think Computationally About AI, the Universe and Everything". @StephenQuake is the Head of Science at the @ChanZuckerberg Initiative, and Stanford Professor. He’s spinning up a massive GPU cluster to use AI to understand bio. Please come join us at SynBioBeta for an epic discussion on foundational AI models for biology. This is just 1 of more than 10 high profile sessions at the intersection of AI and Bio: bit.ly/4bgvU49 #SyntheticBiology #ArtificialIntelligence #bioengineering #synbio
