A key aspect of my @erc.europa.eu Advanced project 'Community' was to predict biosynthetic gene cluster (BGC) function entirely on how BGCs are controlled, without looking at predicted gene function or natural product. We show proof of concept for this idea in this paper in @plosbiology.org (1/2)

Huge thanks to the amazing team at @currentbiology.bsky.social for highlighting fungi in this special issue. Many excellent reviews and perspectives from so many mycological heroes. Lots of great material to use in teaching/outreach. 🍄

You’re walking down this hallway and the phone starts ringing you pick it up to hear a voice that sounds like your own “We don’t have to industrialize biology. We have to biologize industry.”

Reframe the paradigm so that the opportunity space opens up!

One problem we face today is how few people understand the science that helps us all. Some scientists are able to explain the importance of their work. @baym.lol of Harvard University is one of them. Science is for everyone, and benefits us all more than most people know.

This isn’t the narrative. It should be: He’s done so much damage to everything in this country including science, that he deserves only one hell of a place, Mars.

The intermingling of geopolitics, strategy and personal relationships in the cause of national security makes it gripping reading.
