What do sharks, trees, and biofuels have in common? 🦈🌿⚡️ This #SharkWeek it's the exciting research of MSU's @BjoernHamberger, whose lab has engineered poplars to produce a high value chemical compound typically harvested from sharks! bmb.natsci.msu.edu/news/2024…

Plants have their carbon and eat it too. Why can't we. Calling all biogenic VOC whisperers. Please cast your bio upon the waters! jobs.lever.co/OXMAN

Wow! Melanin is a potentially game-changing semiconductor for bioelectronics! It's not just a pigment, it's a complex molecule with unique properties and many possible applications in TECH!💡 Dive in, get inspired & learn about what this all means! 👩🏿‍🔬🧪 #melanin #sciencetwitter
Dude I am doing research on the melanin molecule and it makes me want to jump straight back into the lab. I had no idea we were considering it as a semiconductor for implantable bioelectronics to treat diseases like Parkinson's. This feels like WAKANDA 😭 No, THIS IS WAKANDA

Imagine using mushrooms 🍄 to stay cool - New research from @JohnsHopkins University microbiologist Dr. @radajbcordero, found that mushrooms and other fungi stay cooler than their surroundings. Check out this article by @epennisi on @ScienceMagazine here: science.org/content/article/…

Great thread! Shameless plug, check out our company @MelatechS which builds from these concepts to produce melanin and melanin-based biomaterials 🚀
Let's talk about radiotrophic fungi. I want to start with the most surprising fact about them: they don't just SURVIVE in high radiation environments, they grow at *FOUR TIMES* the rate they would in background radiation. Our best guess is they're "eating" radiation.

One small bell, one giant moment for bioworkers. If we can rewrite the DNA of organisms, what will we do with the power we have to write the future of biology? Ginkgo's bioworkers built this platform, and they're building it for everyone, so we can write that future together.

I repeat- I haven’t been this excited about a discovery since CRISPR. We found something enigmatic that, like CRISPR, is associated with microbial genomes. We have named these unique entities #BORGs
