Today, I would like to share with you images of a fungus colonizing a Carboniferous seed fern @fmartin1954 @dromius @cesarmarin203 @mrillig @AlanRTSpencer
Incredibly inspiring! 👏
I love my lil lab! Sacrificed so much to get here, but I am so damn proud of this research nook that sustains me. The biological equivalent of Carl Sagan's Spaceship of the Imagination. I'm a journeyman helmsman at best, but this little sloop is agile in rough seas.

I'm increasingly fascinated by mitochondria, which are not merely "powerhouses of the cell" but rather play many roles in the cell, some of which are only being discovered now. For example: A new paper shows that mitochondria "dock" near nuclear pores before releasing ATP and phosphocreatine molecules. By docking with the nucleus, the mitochondria reduce the distance these molecules must diffuse to support DNA replication and transcription. This basically raises the concentration of ATP inside the nucleus. If you destroy these "tethers," and the mitochondria moves further from the nucleus, the ATP concentration goes down by ~90%. I'm excited that ARIA is supporting work like this with their "Bioenergetic Engineering" program. Manipulating mitochondria seems to be a super important, yet underrated, way to modify cell behavior, cure diseases, etc.
I'm hiring a research tech soon for my lab at Harvard Med, starting this fall. We'll work on designing microbes and proteins with New-to-Nature functions. Ideal for a recent grad seeking hands-on research & opportunity to publish before PhD. Job ad soon. RTs much appreciated!

We should manufacture drugs and vaccines using duckweed. A few reasons: - They're the fastest-growing flowering plants. - Duckweed is up to 45% protein by biomass. - They grow in wastewater. - Duckweed can be transformed by "dipping" them into a liquid with plasmids and carbon nanotubes; very simple. - Both monoclonal antibodies and edible vaccines have been made with duckweeds at small scales for ~two decades. But there are lots of duckweed strains. We should sequence all of them, pick a strain, and start building better biotechnology tools. There is room for a focused philanthropy effort here (and companies), too.
