I'm still not sure what to make of a meeting that in many ways replayed the meeting it was thinking with (and all the tired tropes we've learnt since then), but I am VERY into it accommodating our weird events on the beach. #asilomar #sts #synbio www.science.org/content/arti...

Some promo! On Monday I'll be talking about Asilomar, why old visions of governance repeat, why it's so tiring and whether there's any way out of that loop. That's in Exeter at the wonderful Egenis Centre.

Watching grownups pretend not to recognize a Nazi salute flashed three times is...expected in an authoritarian takeover. Next, they'll do it en masse to "own the libs." Refuse to normalize or be gaslit. We know what they meant all along. #ElonNaziSalute

In my latest piece for @science.org, I ask how we should think about experiments that take place outside the lab. It begins here, in St Ives, Cornwall. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

This is really rare! Synthetic biologists saying the path forward is 'don't do it'.... obvious parallel is rDNA in the 60s/70s, but that's probably a red herring... www.science.org/doi/pdf/10.1...

If you submit your grants last minute, you're in good company. For the 2005 NIH Pioneer grant, half of the applications were submitted in the last two days. The red bars indicate the awardees. One awardee submitted 8 minutes before the deadline. bsky.app/profile/jere... @jeremymberg.bsky.social

What do conservation managers, animal welfare experts, red squirrel advocates, foresters and land managers think about the idea of gene drive squirrels? I think this is the most evocative piece of work I’ve ever done 🐿️…made anti-charismatic by science policy. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
