Yesterday we celebrated AISUK's 10th anniversary with a special evening at @ItalyinUK. We had the honour to host Italian astrophysics @AstroSamantha from @ESA_Italia👩🚀 🚀 🪐 ⭐ Special thanks to the organisers, our Director LuciaLombardi and @NicoBisco. @ContiniClau @CarlaMolten
What a fantastic evening celebrating the 10th anniversary of @aisuk_info at the Italian Embassy in London!
It was a real pleasure to meet Astronaut Samantha Cristoforetti @AstroSamantha and listening to her experiences on the European space exploration and science innovation.@esa

Scientists say they have built a cell from scratch for the first time that can feed, grow and replicate like a natural cell. This breakthrough in synthetic biology could usher in an era of made-to-order organisms that function like living machines. cnn.it/4v7rwxe
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Exageration of the scientific achievement:
"scientists are far from building anything remotely close to a modern living cell"

Pre-print description:
"a cell-like system constructed entirely from known chemical components that can perform a complete cell cycle."

#SynCell2026 …what an incredible experience!
It was a real pleasure to receive many positive feedback and, above all, to collaborate with Stefania Usai and @SynCellEU , the scientific committee and everyone involved in making this event possible.
