Can we use AI to grow AI? Yes! We show that bio-based ASICs—grown in mushroom farms—can deliver 3M chips per cycle at <$1 each. Our early work benchmarks neuromorphic mycelium chips on inference, memory, and NARMA-10. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

It’s always rewarding to see years of work come full circle. In 2019, we developed the B | reactor—a modular, networked bioreactor for reproducible science. It was just awarded its patent. @biorealize is no longer active, but I’m grateful to everyone who made it possible.

Thank you Koozarch for a great discussion koozarch.com/interviews/rel…

Thank you Natsai Audrey Chieza and NPOL for a great conversation: Biodesign Meets AI @natsaichieza normalphenomena.life/editorial/biod…

Slowly but surely mycelium will change our world. Dress by Kathrine Reeder. @ecovative

Say hi if you are at @SynBioBeta

Speaking on Thursday at @risd on how to bring together art, design and tech leadership.

Very excited to join SynBioBeta next month to discuss Biodesign, AI, and our work @ecovative

Heading to Budapest for the Future Materials Conference futurematerials.mome.hu

Our mycelium research platform at @ecovative is helping us design the next generation biomaterials from leather to high-performance foam. ecovative.com/blogs/blog/the…

The new Graph Commons is here! graphcommons.com There are a lot of new features and improvements. We can't wait to see how you'll use them to gain better insights and create deeper impact. 1/9 🧵

The essays are written by some incredible biodesign pioneers... @wonderinganimal @curiousoctopus @orkan @CorinneTakara @DressingTheDead @WMyersdesign @DrToddOliver @melliferous9 @WhitneyGaskins @angelamcq12 @hdeweyh

For #GivingTuesday: Buy a book to support #innovation you love!📗 Our goal: Sell 100 books by Nov. 29!!💯 🐛Grow the Future: Visions of Biodesign is a look into the worldwide community of biodesigners who are creating + critiquing the future of #biotech biodesignchallenge.org/bdc-book/growt…

Glad to share some of the new tools we are building at @ecovative bringing cutting edge research to scale production. ecovative.com/blogs/blog/bui…

Great writeup at the @ecovative blog from @orkan, our Director of Foundry Engineering, about the important work of building a high-throughput testing system to quickly develop new and improved mycelium materials: ecovative.com/blogs/blog/bui…

Shout out to our amazing Sprint judging panel: @onyeahanotu @CarrieCizauskas @ivanJaubert @akosmaroy @sara_nejad @Newlab @harpr33tS @CorinneTakara @orkan @flypollination's Tashia Tucker @JusticeToshiba

Excited to join the Editorial Board of Research Directions: Biotechnology Design (Open Access) cambridge.org/core/journals/…
